MOUNT KAILASH INNER PARIKRAMA 2010

Mt. Kailash Inner Parikrama (Kora)

Mt. Kailash (6714m), Asia's most sacred mountain, is located in a high and isolated enclave of West Tibet . It is one of three pilgrimages sites in the area, known collectively as Kangri Tsosum. All are said to be at the heart of the ancient Shangshung kingdom, the supposed land of origin of the pre-Buddist Bonpos. Mt Kailash is their sould-mountain, which they also call Yungdrung Gu Tse, the Nine-story Swastika Mountain .

 

It is a 53-km pilgrim path around Mt. Kailash . It begins and ends at Darchen, a small settlement at the mountain south base and in the process visits four monasteries crosses the high Drolma La Pass (5636m). Three days is perhaps the minimum time required to walk leisurely around the mountain: spend two nights in or near Drira Phuk and Zutrul Phuk Monasteries. If conditions permit, try to stay four or five days, which would allow time for short trips to the inner regions of the area.

Mount Kailash (also Mount kailas; Tibetan: གངས་རིན་པོ་ཆེKangrinboqê or Gang Rinpoche; simplified Chinese: 冈仁波齐峰,Gāngrénbōqí fēng, Sanskrit: कैलास Kailāsa) is a peak in the Kailas Range (Gangdisê Mountains), which forms part of the Transhimalaya in Tibet. It lies near the source of some of the longest rivers in Asia: the Indus River, the Sutlej River (a major tributary of the Indus River), the Brahmaputra River, and the Karnali River (a tributary of the River Ganga). It is considered a sacred place in four religions: Bön, Buddhism, Hinduism andJainism. The mountain lies near Lake Manasarovar and Lake Rakshastalin Tibet.

According to Hinduism, Lord Shiva, the destroyer of ignorance and illusion, resides at the summit of a legendary mountain named Kailās, where he sits in a state of perpetual meditation along with his wife Pārvatī.

According to Charles Allen, one description in the Vishnu Purana of the mountain states that its four faces are made of crystal, ruby, gold, and lapis lazuli. It is a pillar of the world and is located at the heart of six mountain ranges symbolizing a lotus.

Every year, thousands make a pilgrimage to Kailash, following a tradition going back thousands of years. Pilgrims of several religions believe that circumambulating Mount Kailash on foot is a holy ritual that will bring good fortune. The peregrination is made in a clockwise direction by Hindus and Buddhists. Followers of the Jain andBönpo religions circumambulate the mountain in a counterclockwise direction. The path around Mount Kailash is 52 km (32 mi) long.

Some pilgrims believe that the entire walk around Kailash should be made in a single day, which is not considered an easy task. A person in good shape walking fast would take perhaps 15 hours to complete the 52 km trek. Some of the devout do accomplish this feat, little daunted by the uneven terrain, altitude sickness and harsh conditions faced in the process. Indeed, other pilgrims venture a much more demanding regimen, performing body-lengthprostrations over the entire length of the circumambulation: The pilgrim bends down, kneels, prostrates full-length, makes a mark with his fingers, rises to his knees, prays, and then crawls forward on hands and knees to the mark made by his/her fingers before repeating the process. It requires at least four weeks of physical endurance to perform the circumambulation while following this regimen. The mountain is located in a particularly remote and inhospitable area of the Tibetan Himalayas. A few modern amenities, such as benches, resting places and refreshment kiosks, exist to aid the pilgrims in their devotions. According to all religions that revere the mountain, setting foot on its slopes is a dire sin. It is claimed that many people who ventured to defy the taboo have died in the process[citation needed]. It is a popular belief that the stairways on Mount Kailash lead to heaven.

Following the political and border disturbances across the Chinese-Indian boundary, pilgrimage to the legendary abode of Lord Shiva was stopped from 1954 to 1978. Thereafter, a limited number of Indian pilgrims have been allowed to visit the place, under the supervision of the Chinese and Indian governments either by a lengthy and hazardous trek over the Himalayan terrain, travel by land from Kathmandu or from Lhasa where flights from Kathmandu are available to Lhasa and thereafter travel over the great Tibetan plateau by car. The journey takes four night stops, finally arriving at Darchen at elevation of 4,600 m (15,100 ft), small outpost that swells with pilgrims at certain times of year. Despite its minimal infrastructure, modest guest houses are available for foreign pilgrims, whereas Tibetan pilgrims generally sleep in their own tents. A small regional medical center serving far-western Tibet and funded by the Swiss Ngari Korsum Foundation was built here in 1997.

Walking around the holy mountain—a part of its official park—has to be done on foot, pony or yak, taking some three days of trekking starting from a height of around 15,000 ft (4,600 m) past the Tarboche (flagpole) to cross the Drölma pass 18,200 ft (5,500 m), and encamping for two nights en route. First, near the meadow of Dirapuk gompa, some 2 to 3 km (1.2 to 1.9 mi) before the pass and second, after crossing the pass and going downhill as far as possible (viewing Gauri Kund in the distance).

It is not often now I will have the chance to see a new UK orchid species, however, over the border and over the border after that, in West Sussex, there is a place where they have two very rare species, seeded, but a wild UK orchid. Well, the Greater Tongue is not a native orchid, but there has now been four confirmed records of them growing in the UK, these being one of them. But the second species, the Loose-Flowerd Orchid, is only found in the Channel Islands, and here.

 

So, better go and prostrate myself at their lips. As it were.

 

There is a quick way, via the motorway, or the lazy way, taking the coast road. And as I planned to do two or three stops on the way, I would take the coast road.

 

Once I had dropped Jools off at work first.

 

Have you got your phone? Jools asked. Hell no. How will I know if anything goes wrong? You won't, but it'll be fine.

 

He hoped.

 

After coffee, we load up the car with work bag and cameras, and off into the bright dawn, or an hour after dawn, and onto the almost empty roads to Hythe.

 

Having dropped Jools off, I drive out of Hythe and out onto the Romney Marsh. The road meanders over ditches and the railway line, I make good time, getting to Rye just before eight.

 

Last year I saw a Tweet saying a rare plant was found in, what I thought was, Rye. Growing on the church wall.

 

No matter, I had not been there for ages, and wandering around it cobbled streets, looking at its wonderful ancient buildings is all the more enjoyable when you're the only one ding it, and with a soundtrack of the dawn chorus.

 

I check all the wall s of the churchyard, and find many plants growing on or out of the wall, but not what I was looking for.

 

Maybe, I thought, I meant they were in Winchelsea?

 

Maybe indeed. Anyway, Winchelsea is just a ten minute drive away, another ancinet town, this time set on a hill with the main road up from the marsh passing through a huge stone gate.

 

And the town itself is set on a grid system, and some would have you believe that this was the system New York was based on. I don't know, but it aint no Manhattan.

 

I park beside the church, walk in and look for the plant with round shaped leaves. None found. I then go to check on the church, and about eight feet up was a single plant.

 

I was so excited. So excited, I told a guy from English Heritage that I had found a rare plant. Oh really, what's it called? Wall Pennywort says I. Oh that grows everywhere in this town I was told.

 

I deflated, slightly.

 

And indeed I find it everywhere I looked. Anywhere made of stone, anyways.

 

I go back to the car and set sail to Eastbourne, in the west.

 

To get there I would have to pass through, ahem; Hastings, Bexhill then Eastbourne, then St Leonards.

 

The road meanders through towns, up and down downs, it takes a long time to get a little distance. Hastings is jammed with traffic due to a collapsed sewer. Pooey.

 

But further along, it is the endless traffic lights and roundabouts.

 

West of Eastbourne is Beachy Head. Not a beach. It is a high chalk cliff, which then goes on to make up part of the Severn Sisters, a line of undulating chalk cliffs.

 

I was there as I seem to remember being told, many years ago, of a hybrid Orchid growing near there, so after what might have been six years since being told, I was following up. And directions were very sketchy to say the least

 

I park in the main car park, but unlike everyone else, I walk away from the cliffs to the edge of a field, to scour the hedgerow and see if any pikes could be found.

 

I look and look, but see nothing orchid-like.

 

Drat.

 

But I do see butterflies. Lots of butterflies, including a pair of Wall Browns who land at my feet, mid-courtship, so I was able to snap them. There was also Brown Argus and a Common Blue, though the latter was flighty and I got no shot.

 

Back to the car, program the sat nav and I find I still had an hour and ten minutes to go. Best get a move on.

 

Sussex is a smarter and posher county than Kent, I pass my gated mansions, prep schools and villages I could not afford to look at let alone live.

 

As I drove, the sky clouded over, meaning my plan for top shots was being ruined.

 

Wakehurst is a National Trust property, but the gardens are maintained by Kew, it is where they have a lot of their wild plants. And in a quiet corner there was a small collection of orchids.

 

He hoped.

 

I pulled up at midday, and I realised i had not eaten; not a problem, but with it raining, best take a break, have lunch, and hopefully the weather would get better.

 

Being hungry, I order a panini, a sausage roll, and get a bowl of salad with the meal too. I had a lot of food.

 

Anyway, I sit down to eat and hope the weather blows over.

 

Which it does. Kinda. It at least isn't raining.

 

The kind staff had given me a map, and ringed the bank where the orchids were. So, I just had to find it.

 

I wander through beds of Korean, Chinese then Japanese plants, before finding a small dip, down that and up a grass track, and behind some simple low fencing was a small group of orchids.

 

I had found them.

 

So, I lay down, got my shots, then wandered round the grounds, down an ornamental valley, all overflowing with highly scented rhododendrons, all marvellous stuff.

 

But I was worried about getting back. So, I made my way back to the car, through the shop without buying anything.

 

The sat nav said one hour twenty minutes. Seemed short. I decided not to believe it, so drove out of the car park and towards the motorway at warp factor nine.

 

But it is true: just six miles to Gatwick, then six more to the M25, 15 to Kent then down the M20 towards Hythe. I was back in east Kent before three, meaning I had two hours to kill.

with the Jamal of Allah...

 

The world is darkness, ilm, knowledge, is its light.

 

The one for whom knowledge prevailed over the desire of their nafs, (the base self of three, Ammara, Lawamma - repentant, Mutma’inna - contented) that knowledge is of benefit and why would it not be?

 

It closes the doors of Creation and opens the Door of Allah, the greatest door of all.

 

Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (ra)

 

Malik - II

 

I was in my room listening to a new track that happily found its way to me Friday night - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip7oYH_h3ck - when Malik came into my head. I know I’m in a state anyway when I hear songs that once would make me dance under skies now make me weep.

 

The story I had written about him on my return two weeks ago - www.flickr.com/photos/42093313@N00/52435600567/in/datepos... - was the sweetest thing I had written in I don’t know how long. I must have read it over a dozen times.

 

My writing is so serious these days. I am hard on myself, people say. Writing about a child revealed the softness of my heart to me.

 

It was my last day in Damascus. I told the street kids I would have lunch with them in a park. That was different. Normally I just bought something for them and they all dispersed. Heading in different directions where they might earn a lira or two from their fellow Syrians whose hearts possessed the softness of clouds jami’an, in totality.

 

After I ordered the food I told them I needed to get something to eat too. I didn’t want a shawarma or a burger.

 

“I’ll pick up the thin bread with the za’tar and muhammara,” I said to them forgetting its name in Arabic. I signaled to Malik.

 

“Come with me,” and told the other boys we would meet in 15 minutes.

 

It wasn’t a green park. It was a place with benches and some trees bang in the middle of the Old City. With beautiful couplets written around it by famous poets about the city and how they expressed only one thing; Ishqi Damashq, Damascus is my love.

 

Malik was my favourite of them all. He was the first kid I had encountered on the previous trip. He was unforgettable clearly, he had been popping in and out of my head since I returned. At first I thought it might make the others feel bad, my preference, but then it was Allah Subhanahu who said:

 

تِلۡكَ ٱلرُّسُلُ فَضَّلۡنَا بَعۡضَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضࣲ

 

These are the Messengers, We have preferred some of them over others.

Surah Al Baqarah, Verse 253

 

And then He said it again about rizq, sustenance:

 

وَٱللَّهُ فَضَّلَ بَعۡضَكُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضࣲ فِی ٱلرِّزۡقِۚ

 

And Allah has favored some of you over others in provisions.

Surah An Nahl, Verse 71

 

But this time He also said:

 

فَمَا ٱلَّذِینَ فُضِّلُوا۟ بِرَاۤدِّی رِزۡقِهِمۡ عَلَىٰ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَیۡمَـٰنُهُمۡ فَهُمۡ فِیهِ سَوَاۤءٌۚ

أَفَبِنِعۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِ یَجۡحَدُونَ

 

But those who were favored would not share their wealth with those whom their right hands possess so that they might become equal in this respect.

Then is it the Favor of Allah they deny?

 

Surah An Nahl, Verse 71

 

As Malik and I headed towards the shop where they sold what I wanted, I saw another boy carrying a large sack. He was collecting garbage. I asked him to join us. I had seen children do that in the Old City and they were the ones I ran to, to give money or buy something to eat.

 

I had read once that Ghaus Pak (ra) as a young man had to peruse through garbage to find food and I never forgot it. Sometimes he didn’t even do that so other Friends of God could take something instead of him. Because they weren’t allowed to ask anyone for anything. He was the reason I sought garbage collectors in any city to give them anything I was granted the ability to give.

 

Once I saw a little girl bent over so low from the weight of the bag she was carrying, I thought she would fall over. I had asked her what she wanted to eat. There was a restaurant selling food but all she asked for were fries. I kept pushing her to get something else but that’s all she took from me. A little bag of French fries.

 

That’s the thing about the Syrians. Old or young. They are not tam’an, greedy. If offered anything, they only take what they need. Bi hasbi ahtiyaaj, according to need. Qari Sahib had recently pointed out that greed was the first bait of Iblis’. That’s what he had said to the Prophet Adam (as). Eat this! What you’re not supposed to eat. It will make you immortal.

 

The boy was older than Malik but not by much. He was maybe 12. As we walked by my hotel, I said Salam to an old woman who always sat outside it. She smiled at me. Its amazing, that feeling, of being known as the one who might give something. Something that is actually so insignificant in absolute terms that it by no means deserves recognition.

 

Once an old woman hunched over with poverty kissed my hand just because I walked up to her. Another followed me to kiss me on my forehead, uttering prayers because I gave her what was a dollar. I just stared at her. Everything about Damascus left me feeling amazed.

 

I was a little ahead of Malik as we turned a corner. I looked back and saw him making some gesture to her, then running to catch up with us. A second later, the old woman was shouting something as she walked towards him. She was so upset her voice was breaking.

 

She tried to tell me what he said but I didn’t understand. It was obvious though. Clearly Malik had done something that she thought was obscene. I looked at him in genuine surprise.

 

“Mada qulta laha?” What did you say to her?

 

He stared back at me and said nothing. That might have been because I was speaking Fusha and he didn’t know it.

 

I repeated myself a little firmly, making the question obvious by pointing in her direction. What did you say?

 

We both looked back at the woman as she continued to shout. I looked at Malik disapprovingly, a tone that is a shackle of my nafs I am desperately and literally dying to shirk.

 

“Hada laysa jayyad Malik,” I said softly. This is not nice. “Qul laha ana asif.” Say to her I'm sorry.

 

Before I had even finished my sentence, expecting to have to convince him, Malik was sprinting towards her. By then she had turned back, probably to go sit on her spot in the street again.

 

“Ana asif,” he yelled. “Hajja! Ana asif.”

 

I laughed out loud and I think even my heart smiled.

 

The obedience of the child is the most beautiful thing to see. More beautiful than anything else that I have seen. That obedience that holds the key to absolutely everything throughout one’s life, to witness its possession as an act of worship because its reason is only love, its beyond magnificent.

 

And we all possess it, till we lose it and then crave for it again.

 

The older boy whose name was Hamze didn’t want to come to the park. He didn’t have time I guess. He took his food and headed off. Again I had tried to buy him multiple things and he had wanted only one. I bought my bread and Malik and I started walking towards the park.

 

“Malik,” I said to him smiling. “Kem fuloos fi jaibik kul youm?” How much money is in your pocket every day?

 

He looked up at me.

 

“How much?” I repeated my question. “Kun sadiq.” Be honest!

 

“10,000 lira,” he said immediately. That was 2 dollars, 45o Pakistani Ruppees. “Laysa kul youm.” Not every day!

 

As I munched on my bread, I said to him from the corner of my eye.

 

“I saw a little girl the other day. She was telling her friend, she had 50,000 lira in her pocket.” 10 bucks!

 

He didn’t blink an eye. Just lifted his chin up. “The little girls,” he said without an iota of resentment, “they give them more.”

 

It was so honest I burst out laughing.

 

To prove to me he was telling the truth, he pulled out some crumpled notes in his hand. They were all small denominations, old, dirty. I felt bad for my survey-esque idiotic question.

 

I put my hand on his head and smiled at him. He wanted shoes. I needed to find a way to have someone buy them for him when I was gone. Shopping for kids was not my forte.

 

Then Malik started something saying to me. I focused on his words to catch the meaning. He kept saying Pakistan. I stopped walking so I could get what he meant. Then when he moved his hand like a plane, I understood.

 

“Take you with me to Pakistan?” I asked, resuming our walk. “But what about your mother?”

 

I had thought Malik was an orphan. Most of the boys who sold roses on the street were.

 

“Maatat,” he said. She died.

 

I thought I was misunderstanding him so I asked him again.

 

Maatat, he repeated.

 

My heart sank.

 

“And your father?” I asked hopefully.

 

“He left,” he said.

 

“So do you see him?” I asked.

 

He shook his head.

 

“Then who do you live with?” I asked.

 

“A’mmi,” he replied. My uncle. Maternal. “Wa akhi.” My brother.

 

“Ok,” I said feeling happy he had a brother. Then I smiled at him making the same gesture with my hand of a flying plane,

 

“If you leave with me, then he will cry, your brother.” I put my hands to my eyes and started making boohoo sounds.

 

“Wayn Malik,” I said pretending to sob, “Wayn Malik?” Where did Malik go?

 

He laughed and I kept doing it and he kept laughing. I could see in his face though, he didn’t want his brother to cry.

 

Of course he wanted a tab or a phone and I told him he has to wait till he’s older. I wished I could tell him that this obedience he possessed, he would be robbed of it the day the machine came into his hands. But I didn’t have the vocab.

 

We arrived at the park. I had finished my food by then. We sat on benches and the boys inhaled their sandwiches and fries. We didn’t chat. We didn’t understand each other enough to have a conversation. Cats jumped up to snatch their food and we laughed. Then I said goodbye and we parted ways.

 

Of all the things that changes the condition of the human heart, from hard to soft, from cruel to kind, sohbat, company, is the most effective and it is the easiest. It carries the lightest burden and diminishes the possibility of munafiqat, hypocrisy. It doesn't eradicate it because hypocrisy, Ghaus Pak (ra), says, is with one's own self, but it dissipates it.

 

Best of all it brings happiness because the companionship of a friend, as Maula e Kayinaat (as) says, is the greatest treasure of all. However long spiritual paths traverse before they move on. I knew all that in theory but in Damascus, I saw it change me.

 

I felt nothing but elation all the time. Day in and day out my nafs was mutma’inna, only content. In perfect alignment with my qalb, the heart within the heart that is the seat of recognition of my Lord and my batin, the inner self, Allah’s Secret within me. And this was in the company of strangers, not even friends.

 

Softness is the gift of the Ahl e Bait, the family of Nabi Kareem (is it any wonder that Allah sends greetings and salutations upon him continuously). They are its mabda’a, origin. And Bibi Zainab (as), her presence in the city overwhelms everything else. Just like Allah Ar Rahim’s Mercy prevails over everything.

 

Thousands upon thousands of Names and Attributes, countless really as each Abid, worshipper, comes up with their own in expression of their love for Him. Still, for everyone one dominates all the others. For the good as well as the defiant!

 

وَرَحْمَتِى وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَىْءٍۢ ۚ

 

My Mercy encompasses everything

Surah Al Araaf, Verse

 

Tafseer e Jilani

 

Wa rahmati wasi’at kulla shayan: My Mercy encompasses every single thing from the Al Muta’een, the obedient ones and the Al A’sieen, the sinners and others from amongst them.

 

And so an Urs begins. Of my Master who is the Master of all Spiritual Masters, who allows me a form of nearness to him that few possess. A connection through words he spoke and others wrote, that sooner or later bring clarity into my veiled, clouded, forgetful, too easily deceived existence.

 

At sunset on a Sunday, we mark our grateful happiness with the first word that celebrated the dawn of the Quran and was gifted to the Conveyer of its hidden meanings and its message:

 

Iqra! Read…

 

237. There is nothing like Him because there is no shay’, thing, except Him

 

لَیۡسَ كَمِثۡلِهِۦ شَیۡءࣱۖ

وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِیعُ ٱلۡبَصِیرُ

 

There is not like Him anything,

and He (is) the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.

Surah Ash-Shura, Verse 11

 

Tafseer e Jilani

 

Laysa kamislihi: There is nothing like Allah Subhanahu…

 

Shayin: which exists in its presence or is similar in its reality and proof and it means for sure by this (following) example that nothing is like Him is His Essence i.e. There is nothing that can be compared to His Essence so how can anything other apart from Him be like Him?

 

When it is said in Arabic, “There is no one stingy like you,” it doesn’t mean that you are stingy (it means that you are not stingy) and its purpose of being said is negating count as related to Allah Subhanahu in general and this negation of count is for emphasis and for certification so now it is proved that nothing is present except for Him and there is no stability for anyone except with Him. (Shayin here means that there is in fact no thing except Him).

 

Wa: And when this has been proved then this is also apparent that indeed,…

 

Huwa As Sami’ul Baseer: He is by His Essence Al Munhasir, The Exclusive One, exclusively holding the attribute of hearing and seeing and the gathering of all attributes of His Essence in perfection, encompassing all their effects in the two Realms of Ghaib, Unseen and Shahadat, Witnessing.

 

Subhan Allah! 

 

238. Whether willing or unwilling, everyone is in a state of praise of Allah

 

وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ طَوْعًۭا وَكَرْهًۭا

وَظِلَـٰلُهُم بِٱلْغُدُوِّ وَٱلْـَٔاصَالِ ۩

 

And to Allah prostrates whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and (so do) their shadows in the mornings and in the afternoons.

Surah Ar Rad, Verse 15

 

Tafseer e Jilani

 

Wa: And how can he focus upon and how can he worship anything except Allah Al Haqq, The Truth, given that indeed, there is no deity to worship except Allah and there is only Him and there is nothing except for Him, because…

 

Lillahe: for Allah, Al Mutta’assil, The One who is the source of everything in existence, attributed by His Everlastingness, He is Everlasting in His Own Self and not like other things which exist from the shadows of what is vanishing in its own reality.

 

Yasjudu: He prostrates i.e. he is in humility and in surrender …

 

Man fis samawaati: whoever is in the heavens i.e. in the Realm of the Names and Attributes which are known by the Al Ayaan e Saabita, all things that are in the Knowledge of Allah…

 

Wa: and whoever is in the Earth…

 

Al ardi: i.e. the realm of nature from the shapes and infrastructures which are reflected (and appear) from the Names and Attributes…

 

Tau’an: (some prostrate) willing, inclining with love (towards Him) with knowledge and insight…

 

Wa karhan: (and others prostrate themselves before Him) by force with hesitation and disobedience.

 

Wa: And also surrender to Him…

 

Dilaluhum: their shadows i.e. the necessary requirements of their existence (air, food, water etc) and what comes upon them as ambiguities…

 

Bilghudu: in the mornings i.e. the first appearance and emergence…

 

Wal aasaal: and in the evenings i.e. the time of disappearance and ending.

 

Exquisite! 

 

249. No difficulty comes upon us except what is decreed by Allah Subhanahu

 

قُل لَّن یُصِیبَنَاۤ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوۡلَىٰنَاۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلۡیَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ

 

Say, "Never will befall us except what has decreed Allah for us, He is our Protector."

And so on Allah the believers put their trust.

 

Surah At Taubah, Verse 51

 

Tafseer e Jilani

 

Qul: Say, O Akmal ar Rusul, O Messenger who perfects the Messenger-hood (Allah sends greetings and salutations upon him and his family), to those who find their pleasure in, God forbid, mocking you, who are hypocrites, (say to them) according to your unveiling and your witnessing…

 

Layyuseebana: no adversity will ever come to us from traumas…

 

Illa ma kataballah: except that which Allah has written, Al Muqaddir, The One who has the power to destine death and sustenance and all other deeds and states and all the continuous occurings in the Realm of the Unseen as well as the Realm of the Witnessing, i.e. the world…

 

Lana: for us and Allah chose for us from His Ever Present Knowledge because…

 

Huwa: He Himself is…

Maulana: alone our Protector and Controller of all our matters that He does to us, according to what He has confirmed in His Ever-Present Knowledge, without exchange and without amendment.

 

Wa: And there is no option for us except Raza, being pleased with that which happened to us and that which is happening and will happen from what He has fated for us so that’s…

 

Alallahi: in Allah Subhanahu and no one else except Him in all causes and means because everything is returning towards Him, just as their origin initially itself is also from Him…

 

Falyatawakkalil Mo’minoon: so the believers should place their trust in Allah’s One-ness and the extension of the Secrets of His One-ness upon the sheets of all His Creation.

 

255. Allah Subhanahu does not wrong people, they wrong themselves

 

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا یَظۡلِمُ ٱلنَّاسَ شَیۡءࣰا وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ أَنفُسَهُمۡ یَظۡلِمُونَ

 

Indeed, Allah does not wrong people in anything, but the people themselves wrong.

Surah Yunus, Verse 44

 

Tafseer e Jilani

 

Inallaha: Indeed Allah, Al Muta’azziz, The Only Dominant One, with His Mantle of Adma, Majesty and Kibriya, Pride…

 

La yadlimun naasa: is not unjust to people, Al Mustawajjibeena, the ones who became deserving of punishment and exemplary retribution…

 

Shay’an: in anything which comes to them from Him…

 

Wa lakinnan naasa: but the people, An Naseen, the ones who are forgetful of where to use the blessings given by Allah to them, (are forgetful) of what those blessings were created for…

 

Anfusahum yadlimoon: only they themselves are unjust by spending the blessings on the opposite of His Command and the opposite of what purpose those blessings appeared from Him so that they become deserving of intense dislike and revenge.

 

253. Why did you not prostrate when commanded? And Iblis answered, “I am better than Him.”

 

قَالَ یَـٰۤإِبۡلِیسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَن تَسۡجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقۡتُ بِیَدَیَّۖ أَسۡتَكۡبَرۡتَ أَمۡ كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَالِی

قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَیۡرࣱ مِّنۡهُ خَلَقۡتَنِی مِن نَّارࣲ وَخَلَقۡتَهُۥ مِن طِینࣲ

 

He said, "O Iblis! What prevented you from prostrating before the one whom I created with My Hands?

Are you too arrogant or are you of the exalted ones."

He said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and You created him from clay."

 

Surah Sad, Verse 76

 

Tafseer e Jilani

 

Then when at the time Iblis refused his, the Prophet Adam (as), obedience and his honouring even though the Command came from Allah and was compulsory:

 

Qala: He, Allah Subhanahu, said, with anger at him, calling out to him, asking him the reason for his refusal…

 

Ya Iblis: O Iblis, Al Mustakbir, the one whose desire for pride (not even in possession of it) overcame the Command, the one who turned away from Our Order…

 

Ma manaka an tasjud: what prevented you for prostrating i.e. what was the thing that stopped you from the prostration of honouring…

 

Lama khalaqtu bi yadihi: the one who I created by My Hand and to whom I gave form by My Authority in accordance with My Form and with the perfection of My Strength and Control so he could be My Mirror and be able for My Friendship and My Viceregency.

 

Astakbarta: Did you desire to become arrogant from the obedience of Our Command and follow Our Order…

 

Am kunta: or you considered yourself…

 

Min A’lieen: of the exalted ones, Al Mutafawwaqeena, the ones made higher than you, so much so that your nafs, self, has made you so that you cannot surrender before Allah and be obedient to Him?

 

And after the accursed one heard this from Subhanahu, such an address, consisting of all kinds of wrath…

 

Qala: he said, the accursed one, after choosing the second option for the refusal…

 

Ana khairun minhu: I am better than him in form and physical material because…

 

Khalaqtani: You created me by the Perfection of Your Authority…

 

Min naar: from fire and it is the better element and it is higher in value and place…

 

Wa khalaqtahu min teen: and You created him from clay and it is the lower element and it is not valuable and it is of a lower place. And the command of prostration for the higher and better before the lower and worthless is not suitable and not according to Your Solid Wisdom.

 

256. And everyone followed Iblis except one group

 

وَلَقَدۡ صَدَّقَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ إِبۡلِیسُ ظَنَّهُۥ فَٱتَّبَعُوهُ إِلَّا فَرِیقࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ

 

And certainly, Iblis’ opinion about them had been right for they followed him,

except a group of the believers.

 

Surah As Saba, Verse 20

 

Tafseer e Jilani

 

Then said Subhanahu taking an oath…

 

Wa: upon Himself…

 

Laqad saddaqa: indeed he, Iblis, authenticated…

 

Alayhim: upon those, Al Haalikeen, the ones who destroy themselves in the maze of khusraan, losses and kufraan, denial and ingratitude…

 

Iblis: the enemy for them, persistent, permanent in enemity with them from the beginning of their creation…

 

Dannahu: his belief, which was what he thought to be true for them when he said to their father, the Prophet Adam (as),

 

لَأَحۡتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّیَّتَهُۥۤ إِلَّا قَلِیلࣰ

 

I will surely destroy his offspring except a few – Al Isra, 62

 

Tafseer e Jilani

 

La ahtanikanna durriyaatahu: Iblis said: I will make them wayward and trap them with vulgarity and by alluring them to do something wrong so that I can erase their names from the book of believers. So how can they become of the Arifeen, the ones who recognize Allah and the Al Mukaashifeen, for whom everything unveils, Al Mushahideen, the witnessing ones because what they are made from and their foundation, it demands different kinds of corruption and various kinds of sin and waywardness.

 

And for me there are many opportunities (through these demands) to create paranoia for them and allure them till they become misguided from the straight path of guidance and the way of correctness…

 

Illa qaleela: except a few amongst them for indeed they are Sabitoon, steadfast on what they are set up on. I have no power to persuade them towards wrongdoing because they are Muwwayadeen, assisted by You and they are Muwwafiqeen, granted ability by Your Power.

 

And he said:

 

وَلَا تَجِدُ أَكْثَرَهُمْ شَكِرِينَ ‎

 

and you will not find most of them grateful - Surah Al Araaf, Verse 17

 

Tafseer e Jilani

 

La tajidu: You will not find, Ya Muizzu, O You who is The Bestower of Honour to everybody else in in humiliation and The One directing the astray to the Right Path…

 

Aksarahim Shakireen: most of them to be grateful when they will return towards, (they will be not be) the grateful ones, spending from what You bestowed them of blessings on what You commanded them not to do.

 

And he said:

 

وَلَأُضِلَّنَّهُمۡ وَلَأُمَنِّیَنَّهُمۡ

 

"And I will surely deceive them and surely arouse desires in them – An Nisa, Verse 119

 

Tafseer e Jilani

 

Wa laudillanahum: And I will surely deceive them by different deceptions and whisperings of doubt and paranoia from the Way of Your Tauheed, One-ness…

 

Wa layumanniannahum: and I will arouse desires in them by their concerns with their livelihood in this place of deception (the world) with hirs, greed and tool al amal, never ending hopes and all types of desires of their nafs, their egos, which arise from lust and (seeking of) pleasure.

 

And much else apart from this. And after that he misguided them from the path of Shukr, Gratitude and Imaan, faith…

 

Fattaba’uhu: they followed him, ungrateful and denying of the blessings and Al Munim, the Bestower of those Blessings, all of them…

 

Illa fareeqan min al Mo’mineen: except a group from the Mo’mineen, the believers, Al Mu’qineena, possessing certaint in the Tauheed, the One-ness of Allah, Al Musaddeqeena, attesting to His Prophets, Al Muttadakkireena, taking warning that he is their enemy forever so they turned back from him and from his persuasion by deception so they remained Saalimeen, secure, from his persuasion to deceive.

  

257. The ones who have imaan and taqwa, there is good in the world for them and they will be paid back with rewards without account

 

قُلۡ یَـٰعِبَادِ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ رَبَّكُمۡۚ لِلَّذِینَ أَحۡسَنُوا۟ فِی هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنۡیَا حَسَنَةࣱۗ

إِنَّمَا یُوَفَّى ٱلصَّـٰبِرُونَ أَجۡرَهُم بِغَیۡرِ حِسَابࣲ

 

Say, "O My slaves those who believe!

Be mindful of your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good,

Only will be paid back in full the patient ones their reward without account."

 

Surah Az Zumar, Verse 10

 

Tafseer e Jilani

 

Qul: Say, Ya Akmal Ar Rusul (Allah sends blessings and salutations upon you since the beginning of everything), O Messenger who completes the Messenger-hood, give this message on Our Behalf, calling out to the selected sincere amongst my Servants…

 

Ya ibadi: O My Worshippers, by attaching them with His Essence making them special and honouring them…

 

Alladina aamano: those who attained to faith from amongst you in the One-ness of My Essence and My Appearance according to My Affairs and My Ever changing-ness in accordance with My Names and Attributes, the requirement of your faith is taqwa, mindfulness, from the demands of your desires…

 

Ittaqu Rabbukum: be conscious of your Lord and stay away from what is forbidden by Him and what He has ordered prevented for you and characterize yourself with His Commands and know that He…

 

Lilladina ahsanu: for the ones with spiritual excellence and beautiful regard with Allah…

 

Fi hadihi duniya: in this world, which is the place of gaining lessons and choosing…

 

Hasana: there is goodness, multifold and more than a thousand times more than that in the Hereafter which is the

 

Dar al Qarar, the abode which is forever so take heed, O people of vision, both inner and outer.

…

Innama yuwaffas sabiroon: Only the steadfast are given in full as the Al Mutahammiloona, the ones who carry their burdens with the different kinds of difficulties and toiling with patience in the practice of Imaan, faith…

 

Ajrahum: their reward and in abundance upon them will be goodness and different kinds of recompenses and honours…

 

Bighairi hisaab: without count, for all of it and exceeding it, with no possibility of measure and enumeration and without any number, merely by His Bounty for them and His Honour upon them.

 

And in a hadith, endless salutations and greetings of Allah upon the one saying it:

 

“Fixed will be the scales on the Day of Judgement for the people of Sala’t, those who established their prayers and Sadaqa, those who gave charity beyond what is obligated and Hajj, the ones who performed the pilgrimage and they will be given their reward for it.

 

But there will be no scales for the Ahl al Bala, the people who faced afflictions. Instead poured upon them will be rewards.

Until they will intensely desire, the Ahl al Afiyat, the people who lived life without suffering in this world, wishing that their bodies had been cut with scissors in the world, after they see what the people who faced afflictions will be taking as their rewards.”

 

يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى:

"ابْنَ آدَمَ، اطْلُبْنِي تَجدني، فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَنِي وجَدْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَإِنْ فُتُّكَ فَاتَكَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ،

وَأَنَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ".

 

Says Allah Ta’ala:

 

“O Children of Adam (as)! Seek me and you will find me.

So if you find Me, you will find everything.

And if you miss this seeking, you will lose everything.

And I should be most beloved to you of all things.”

I have never seen this before! I have seen echidnas before, but never lying totally prostrate and in the hot sun!

Today was a hot 33C in Melbourne, before afternoon thunderstorms came to Healesville about 2pm.

Most of the animals were sensibly laying in the shade, avoiding the hot sun. Most - but not this Echidna!

Echidnas are Australia's answer to hedgehogs or porcupines . They are a primitive Marsupial - one of two monotremes.

Echidnas are one of two egg-laying marsupial mammals - monotremes (the other being the platypus).

 

Echidnas, sometimes also referred to as "spiny anteaters", are the only surviving monotremes apart from the Platypus. The four surviving species, native to New Guinea and Australia, all belong to the Tachyglossidae family. The echidna is named after a monster in ancient Greek mythology.

Echidnas are small mammals that are covered with coarse hair and spines. Superficially they resemble both the anteaters of South America and other spiny mammals like hedgehogs and porcupines. They have snouts which have the functions of both the mouth and nose. Their snouts are elongated and slender. They have very short, strong limbs with large claws and are powerful diggers. Echidnas have a tiny mouth and a toothless jaw. They feed by tearing open soft logs, anthills and the like, and use their long, sticky tongue which protrudes from their snout to collect their prey. The Short-beaked Echidna's diet consists largely of ants and termites, while the Zaglossus species typically eat worms and insect larvae.

  

A Short-beaked Echidna curled into a ball; the snout is visible on the right.

The four species of echidna, along with the Platypus, are the only egg-laying mammals, known as monotremes. The female lays a single soft-shelled, leathery egg twenty-two days after mating and deposits it directly into her pouch. Hatching takes ten days; the young echidna, called a puggle, then sucks milk from the pores of the two milk patches (monotremes have no nipples) and remains in the pouch for forty-five to fifty-five days, at which time it starts to develop spines. The mother digs a nursery burrow and deposits the puggle, returning every five days to suckle it until it is weaned at seven months.

There are two species of echidnas, one confined to the highlands of New Guinea, and one which lives in Australia and New Guinea.

 

The smaller species is found throughout Australia, although the animals vary in colour depending on their location. In the northern, hotter regions, echidnas are light brown, but they become darker with thicker hair further south. In Tasmania, they are black. All echidnas have sharp spines covering the back of their short, stocky bodies.

 

The echidna's snout is between 7 and 8 cm long, and is stiffened to enable the animal to break up logs and termite mounds when searching for food. An echidna's mouth is on the underside of its snout, at the end. This allows the animal to feed easily – especially when suckling. Adult echidnas vary in size, from 35 to 53 cm. Males weigh about 6 kilograms, while females weigh about 4.5 kilograms.

 

The short, stout limbs of an echidna are well-suited for scratching and digging in the soil. The front feet have five flattened claws which are used to dig forest litter, burrow, and tear open logs and termite mounds. The hind feet point backwards, and help to push soil away when the animal is burrowing. Two of the claws on each back foot are used for grooming. An echidna's tail is short, stubby and hairless underneath.

 

For most of the year echidnas are solitary animals, although each animal's territory is large and often overlaps with that of other echidnas. During the breeding season they probably use their fine sense of smell to locate one another. Echidnas are usually found among rocks, in hollow logs and in holes among tree roots. During rainy or windy weather they often burrow into the soil or shelter under bushes and tussocks of grass.

 

Protecting themselves

The echidna looks fearsome enough, but it is a shy animal and would rather retreat than fight if disturbed. When frightened it will curl into a ball, with its snout and legs tucked beneath it and its sharp spines sticking out. It will wedge itself beneath rocks, or burrow straight down into soft soil, to escape predators such as dogs, eagles and dingoes.

 

With a keen sense of smell, an echidna uses its long, hairless snout to search for food, detect danger and locate other echidnas. Termites are the preferred food, which is why the animal is often called the 'spiny anteater'. After finding food, an echidna catches the prey with its long, sticky tongue. Because it has no teeth, it grinds its food between its tongue and the bottom of its mouth.

In warm areas, echidnas feed during the cooler morning and evening hours, and sleep during the heat of the day. In southern Australia, they often stop eating during the colder months and then eat large amounts during spring.

 

Being monotremes, echidnas produce young from eggs which are hatched outside their body, in the same way as birds and most reptiles. During the breeding season, a female echidna develops a simple pouch into which she lays a single egg. The egg takes about 10 days to hatch, producing a young animal which measures around 1.45 cm (about the size of a jellybean) and weighs as little as 380 milligrams. The young echidna is carried around in its mother's pouch for about three months, during which the female will sometimes drop it into a burrow for protection.

 

By the time the infant leaves the pouch, its spines have started to develop, but it still stays close to its mother and continues to suckle milk through specialised pores in the skin inside her pouch. Although they begin to eat termites and ants soon after leaving the pouch, young echidnas are often not fully weaned until they are several months old.

Echidnas have been known to live for as long as 16 years in the wild, but generally their life span is thought to be under 10 years.

Bij de volle prosternatie werpen boeddhisten zich plat ter aarde met de armen vooruitgestoken. Zij blijven niet liggen, maar staan meteen weer op voor de volgende prosternatie.

SHIP'S FIREMAN INJURED.

ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL. A ship's fireman named Con O'Keefe, aged about 28, from the steamer Tredenham, now in port, was admitted to the district hospital yesterday afternoon, in an unconscious condition. He was suffering from an injury to his head.

paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/NZH19230103.2.36

 

CHARGE OF MURDER.

SHIP'S FIREMAN IN DOCK.

A STARTLING STORY.

INJURED MAN LEFT UNATTENDED.

When John Finnigan, aged 31, a ship's fireman, was charged at the Police Court this morning with having assaulted Con O'Keefe and caused him actual bodily harm, a sensation was caused by Chief Detective McIlveney stating that he would withdraw the charge and substitute one of murder against the accused. The man alleged to have been assaulted, he added, had just died in the Auckland Hospital.

Mr. Allan Moody appeared for the accused, Finnigan, who was remanded until to-morrow. Bail was not applied for.

Both the accused and the dead man were firemen on the steamer Tredenham, which arrived in the Waitemata on December 31, and berthed at the wharf the following day. According to statements made to the police the crew of the Tredenham were given £2 each allowance on New Year's Day, and came ashore at about 1 o'clock. There was some drinking among the men, and it is said that there was an altercation between Finnigan and O'Keefe. It is further alleged that O'Keefe was lying asleep in his bunk at midnight when Finnigan came down into the firemen's quarters and struck the other man and pulled him out of his bunk on to the floor and kicked him on the head and back. Finnigan, it is said, was pulled away from the prostrate man, who was lifted back into his bunk in an unconscious condition.

The extraordinary thing about the tragedy is that the unfortunate man is alleged to have been allowed to lie unconscious in his bunk until the matter came to the ears of the officers at noon on the following day. He was then sent to the hospital in an ambulance, and as he had not recovered consciousness last night, an operation was performed by Dr. Milsom. The patient did not rally, however, and died at about 9 o'clock this morning.

Another peculiar feature about the case is that although the alleged assault took place at midnight on the first, and O'Keefe was admitted to the hospital on the next day, the matter was not reported to the police until one o'clock yesterday. A search was then made for Finnigan, who was arrested in Albert Street by Detective Gourley at about half-past three and charged with assault occasioning bodily harm.

The accused denied all knowledge of the charge when arrested.

The inquest on O'Keefe will be opened at 4 o'clock this afternoon, when evidence of identification will be given. It will then be adjourned until to-morrow morning, when further evidence will be heard in conjunction with the charge of murder to be further pressed against Finnigan.

MURDER CHARGE.

INQUEST ON O'KEEFE.

TO-DAY'S PROCEEDINGS.

When the charge of murder preferred against John Finnigan was mentioned in the Police Court this morning, the Chief Detective asked that the case be set down for hearing this afternoon, when the inquest on the dead man O'Keefe would be resumed. To this Mr. Allan Moody, for the accused, consented.

The charge arises cut of a fracas between firemen on the steamer Tredenham at midnight on Monday last..... The inquest on O'Keefe was opened yesterday afternoon and adjourned until to-morrow after evidence of identification had been given.

Mr. Poynton, S.M., presided this afternoon, when the inquest was resumed, and the charge of murder was heard against Finnigan on the same evidence, and Mr. Allan Moody again appeared on behalf of the accused. Mr. Bagnall appeared for the New Zealand Shipping Co., the agents for the vessel.

Captain ?. O. Evans, master of the Tredenham, was present in Court, with some of his officers and several members of the crew.

There was a large number of seafaring men, apart from the principals, present in Court. Chief Detective Mcllveney was present to prosecute, and early in the proceedings said he would oppose any application for a reduction of the charge to one of manslaughter.

There was produced to the Court a plan of the firemen's fo'c'sle showing the position of the bunk of the deceased.

The accused stood in the dock, calm and at attention.

Dr. Kelman, of the Auckland Hospital, stated that at about 2 p.m. on Tuesday last Con O'Keefe was admitted to the hospital with blood issuing from the mouth, while blood appeared on some of the front teeth, which were loosened. The right ear was darkened, and even and swollen as was the right eye, and the right shoulder was bruised. The patient was unconscious, and his condition becoming worse, an operation was performed on Wednesday night by Dr. Milsom, in the presence of witness, but he did not recover consciousness and died at nine o'clock yesterday morning. When the patient was admitted he was suffering from severe concussion, but developed symptoms of cerebral irritation. Dr. Gilmore made an examination after death, and the cause of death was hemmorhage of the brain.

The accused showed signs of faintness and a glass of water was brought, but he smashed the glass away in attempting to clutch it and fell on his knees to the floor. He soon recovered, however, and was given a chair, where he sat composedly. (Proceeding.)

CHARGED WITH MURDER.

THE TREDENHAM TRAGEDY.

POLICE COURT PROCEEDINGS.

STORY OF BRUTAL ASSAULT.

PARTIAL-COLLAPSE OF ACCUSED.

To answer a charge of murder, John Finnigan, a ship's fireman, late of the steamer Tredenham, stepped into the dock yesterday afternoon at the Police Court. The accused is alleged to have murdered Con. O'Keefe, another fireman of the Tredenham on January 1. The inquest in connection with the fatality was opened the previous day at the morgue, and yesterday was carried on simultaneously with the first part of the proceedings, but the finding was not announced. Mr J. W. Poynton, S.M., sat as magistrate and coroner. Mr. Allan Moody appeared for the accused, and Mr. B. D. Bagnall held a watching brief for the New Zealand Shipping Company, the agents for the steamer. Chief-Detective Mcllveney conducted the case for the police.

The accused, a clean-shaven man, 31 years of age, is below the average height, but of powerful build. He was dressed in dark clothes, with a striped cotton shirt, worn open at the neck, and disclosing heavy tatooing on the chest. He entered the dock briskly and without any indication of stress of emotion. During the taking of the medical evidence, in regard to the injuries to the dead man, however, he reeled and nearly fell in the dock. Given water and a chair, he recovered, but sat in the dock with a wan, ashen face, closely following the statements by the witnesses. Detective Gourley, the officer who arrested Finnigan, gave the accused every, attention as he sat in the dock after his partial collapse. Medical Evidence.

Three doctors gave as to O'Keefe's injuries. Dr. R. P. S. Kelman, on the staff of the Auckland Public Hospital said O'Keefe was admitted about 2 p.m. on January 2. He was brought to the hospital in the ambulance and was unconscious and breathing heavily. There was blood about his mouth. On the right side of the head there, were some swelling and bruising. OKeef's condition became progressively worse. An operation was performed by Dr. Milsom in witness's presence about 9 p.m. on January 3, but the patient never regained consciousness and he died at 9.10 a.m. on January 4. When admitted O'Keefe was suffering from severe concussion, and later he showed signs of cerebral irritation. The post-mortem examination, conducted by Dr. Walter Gilmour, at which witness was present, showed the cause of death to be hemorrhage underneath the inner membrane of the brain. The in juries were consistent with a kick on thehead.

Dr. Walter Gilmour, pathologist at the Auckland Hospital, gave evidence of the post-mortem, examination he had conducted. After describing the bruising and abrasions, he said there had been an infiltration of blood into the tissues of the skull on the right side over the frontal region. There was no fracture of the skull. There were pin-point hemorrhages and white matter on both frontal lobes. The other organs of the body were healthy. Death, in his opinion, was caused by hemorrhage under the membrane of the brain, and the injury was consistent with a kick on the head.

Dr. D. N. W. Murray said he had re-examined the body, yesterday. The whole of the muscular tissue from a midline of the forehead, right back to two inches behind the right ear was bruised and infiltrated with blood. Death was due, he considered, to hemorrhage of the brain, and the injury was consistent with a kick, blow or fall. The other organs, were all healthy.

Frederick Charles Moore put in a plan of the firemen's forecastle of the Tredenham, showing the position of the banks. OKeefe, occupied a lower bunk at the fore end of the forecastle.

Scene at the Forecastle.

Daniel Murphy, a fireman on the Tredenham, described in detail the happening; in the forecastle on the night O'Keefe is stated to have received his injuries. On January 1, he said, the crew had leave, and witness went ashore at 1 p.m. and returned about: 9 .p.m. in a sober state. He went to his bunk between 10 and 11 o'clock and O'Keefe was then in the forecastle. He was sober, and was sitting on a form alongside his bunk, taking off his boots. After a short conversation O'Keefe “turned in”. Witness did not get to sleep until the early hours; of the morning; he was reading in his bunk.

The accused came on board: about midnight, he was sober, but showed signs of drink. The accused brought some cocoa and some of those in the forecastle partook of it. He heard the accused say, "I'm going along to get, that — O'Keefe." Accused also said, "What right has this fellow to stop in his bunk while I have to go down to work?"

Finnigan went to O'Keefe's bunk. Things then were quiet in the forecastle. Witness heard Finmgan wake up O'Keefe with a punch.

Finnigan told O'Keefe to "get up." Witness heard a few punches. O'Keefe asked,: "What is this for?" To this the accused answered, "I'll let you know what it is for, you dirty —." Finnigan dragged O'keefe from his bunk on to the floor and then gave him more punches. Finnigan was holding O'Keefe by the neck with one hand and punching him with the other.

Kicked and Stamped On.

Mooney and Kirkwood went to separate the men, but before they got to them, witness saw Finnigan kick O'Keefe on the head and body. O'Keefe was lying on the floor in a kind of curled-up position. Finnigan kicked O'Keefe with the toe of his boot on the head, and he lifted his foot and brought the heel down on the side of the man's head.

Mooney and Kirkwood put Finnigan into his bunk and lifted O'Keefe into his. Witness did not leave his bed while Finnigan assaulted O'Keefe. About 8 o'clock the next morning witness was, going to call O'Keefe when somebody said: "You'd better let him sleep it out." O'Keefe then was apparently sleeping. Witness did not see O'Keefe again until he viewed his body on Thursday in the morgue.

Mr. Moody closely cross-examined the witness as to whether he had had any drink on the day in question, and also in regard to his having a black eye. The witness said he had, no liquor on January 1, nor did he bring any drink back to the ship. He had no drink in the forecastle that night. He admitted he received his black eye in a fight, but he was not drunk at the time. He got the black eye from one of his friends, who was drunk.

Arab Fireman a Witness.

Abdul Mahomet, an Arab fireman on the Tredenham, said he. went to his. bunk on January 1 about 8.30 p.m. O'Keefe was sober, but appeared, to have been drinking. He noticed the accused come into the forecastle about 11 o'clock; he could not say whether he had been drinking or not. He saw Finnigan go to O'Keefe's bunk, hit him on the head, and pull him on to the floor.

Finnigan then kicked O'Keefe on the head and face. When O'Keefe's head was down on the floor the accused lifted his foot and brought his heel down on to the side of O'Keefe's head. The accused also kicked him with the toe of his boot.

Afterwards Finnigan said to witness: "What are you looking at me for, you black — ? I'll kill you before I leave the ship."

Cross-examined by Mr. Moody, witness said that the next morning O'Keefe was moving his head about in his bunk, but he did not talk. He did not see O'Keefe hit his head on the side of the bunk.

Michael J. Mooney, another of the Tredenham's firemen; admitted that after going ashore on January 1 he returned to the ship between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. Helplessly drunk. About 10 p.m. he was sober again and he went on board the steamer Te Koa. He returned to the Tredenham about 11.30 p.m. He saw Finnigan hit O'Keefe while the latter was asleep.

He saw Finnigan strike O'Keefe in the face after pulling him out of his bunk. Witness then went to get assistance. He went to the far end of the forecastle and was away about three minutes. "When witness and a fireman named Morrison came back O'Keefe was out of his bunk and lying apparently asleep. Witness thought he was suffering from the after effects of beer, Morrison and witness coaxed Finnigan to "turn in,” Finnigan was more or less excited. Another fireman named Kirkwood helped witness to lift O'Keefe, whose face was bleeding, into his bunk.

The Magistrate: You did not think it very serious?

Witness: No, sir.

Continuing, witness said, that the next morning about half-past ten he asked O'Keefe how he was, but the man did not reply. A fireman named Thomason reported the matter to the chief steward, and later he saw O'Keefe taken away from the ship on a stretcher.

Cross-examined, witness said that on the morning after the event he saw that O'Keefe was kicking his legs about and was restless.

William Kirkwood, also a fireman on the Tredenham, stated that Finnigan told him he had been asleep in a horsebox on the wharf on the day of the alleged murder. After relating the part he took in helping to lift O'Keefe into his bunk witness said he told the chief engineer of O'Keefe's condition and the chief engineer and chief steward came into the for'ecastle. Later he met Finnigan in an hotel and he told him he had reported O'Keefe's illness to the chief engineer. He told Finnigan a doctor had been sent for and Finnigan said "That is the right thing to do, he will probably get all right.”

The further hearing of the case was adjourned until Monday.

MURDER CHARGE.

THE TREDENHAM TRAGEDY.

FIREMEN AND DRINK.

FINNIGAN COMMITTED ON CAPITAL CHARGE.

The inquest on Con O'Keefe and the hearing on the charge of murder against John Finnigan were resumed at the Police Court before Mr. J. W. Poynton S.M.. to-day, when a large crowd of spectators viewed the proceeding. The Chief Detective pressed the charge against the accused, for whom Mr. Allan Moody appeared.

William Kirkwood, fire-man on the Tredenham, was recalled by Mr. Moody, to whom he stated that on the morning after the assault he together with Finnigan and the Arab fireman, got the forecastle breakfast from the galley. He did not see Finnigan go across with food to O'Keefe's bunk. O'Keefe did not wake up in the morning and remained in the bunk until taken ashore at 10 o'clock.

Mr. Milsom gave evidence as to having been called to see O'Keefe at the hospital. The man was in the padded cell, and after examining him and finding some signs of severe cranial injury, as revealed by partial paralysis, witness ordered his removal to No. 1 ward for observation. Next morning an attempt was made to X-ray the injured man, but he was so restless that this was found impossible. The man's condition grew worse and that night witness decided to open his skull to see if anything could be done to relieve him. On the operation being performed, blood rushed out. This gave the patient considerable relief, but it was soon seen that there was also a herorrhage inside the membrane of the brain. For this nothing could be done, and the patient died next morning.

Robert Morrissey said that after the assault in the Tredenham's fo'c'sle, he heard Finnigan say to the prostrate man. “Get up on your feet!" O'Keefe lay still, without speaking. There was blood on his face Witness said to Finnigan next day: '"I thought you would get into trouble last night," to which the accused said nothing. Finnigan was drunk on the afternoon of New Year's Day, but appeared to be sober when he assaulted O'Keefe.

The Chief Detective: Did you know of any ill-feeling between the accused and O'Keefe?—No.

To Mr. Moody: He did not think at the time that O'Keefe was seriously hurt.

Mr. Moody: Finnigan was drunk on New Year's Day?— Yes, he came down to the ship drunk in the afternoon and went away again.

When you pulled him away from O'Keefe he was pretty excited? —Yes.

The Chief Detective: He was not drunk just before the assault? —No.

William Thomason stated that on the morning following the assault, O'Keefe lay in his bunk, moving his arms and legs about. He kicked the blankets off and was very restless. Robert McKenna, a fireman on the steamer Te Koa, gave evidence that he was drinking with other firemen, including Finnigan, on New Year's Day. He went on board the Tredenham that night and witnessed part of the assault. When he saw Finnigan punching O'Keefe after dragging him out of his bunk, he ran for help to the other end of the fo'c'sle. He did not see the kicking, but heard noises as if there was kicking.

Witness said that on Saturday he was locked up for drunkenness and this morning he saw the accused in the prison van. He asked him what he was “up” for, and Finnijjan replied that he was blamed for killing a man. Witness said, “Well. I will have to tell the truth about what I saw in the case.” At the Court Finnigan pointed out Detective Gourley to witness, saying he would have to give evidence.

Mr. Moody: You and Finnigan had been to many hotels on New Year's Day—Yes.

You were pretty tight? — Yes.

And Finnigan was as tight as the rest of you?— Yes.

Do you remember him buying 12 bottles of beer?— Yes, and a bottle of rum, too.

What became of it?—l don't know.

Well, we will assume it went down your throats?— Yes.

Evidence of several of the ship officers was to the effect that they had no knowledge of any ill-feeling between Finnigan and the dead fireman. Detective Gourley gave evidence as to the arrest of the accused, who denied all knowledge of the affair on a charge of having caused actual bodily harm. Accused declared that he had left the ship at 1 o'clock on New Year's day and not returned since Next morning witness informed him in the presence of his solicitor (Mr Moody) that O'Keefe had died and he was to be charged with murder, to which Finnigan replied “It is not my fault.”

Mr Moody asked that the charge be reduced to manslaughter as there was no evidence of any motive, and if the accused had caused the death of the other unfortunate fireman, there was no intention to kill.

The Chief Detective: There is evidence of motive in that accused blamed the other man for laying in his bunk whilst he (Finnigan) had to go to work.

The accused was committed to stand his trial for murder at the Supreme Court. The coroner returned a verdict that death was due to sub-arachnoid hemorhage of the brain, resultant from injuries to the head caused by an assault by one John Finnigan on or about January 1, 1923

ACQUITTED OF MURDER.

GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER.

TEN YEARS' IMPRISONMENT.

THE TREDENHAM TRAGEDY.

A sentence of 10 years' imprisonment was imposed on John Finnigan, aged 32, who was found guilty of manslaughter in i connection with the death of Con O'Keefe, formerly a fireman on the steamer Tredenham. The case was heard before Mr. Justice Stringer and a jury of 12 at the Supreme Court yesterday. The courtroom was crowded, those in attendance being mainly seafaring men. The charge preferred against the accused was that of murder, to which he pleaded not guilty. Mr. V. R. Meredith prosecuted on behalf of the Crown and accused was defended by Mr. Allan Moody. The facts outlined by Mr. Meredith, and supported in evidence, were that deceased and accused were firemen on the steamer Tredenham, which arrived at Auckland on December 31 from New York, at which port Finnigan had joined the ship. On the night of January 1 the accused, who had been drinking during the day, went into the forecastle and struck deceased, who was asleep in his bunk, later pulling deceased out of the bunk and kicking him about the back and head and then bringing his boot down on decease'd's head. The man was put back in his bunk by the other firemen, and next morning, when the officers of the ship became aware that his condition was serious, he was removed to the Auckland Hospital, where he died from hemorrhage of the brain without having regained consciousness.

Mr. Moody elicited from one of the witnesses the fact that the deceased man's head struck the deck as he was pulled out of his bunk.

Addressing the jury, Mr. Moody said it could not be denied that accused assaulted O'Keefe. He had, however, no intention of causing bodily harm, although he probably had some idea of punishing O'Keefe for some fancied grievance. The prisoner had not given evidence on oath for the reason that he could not remember anything about the incident, due no doubt to the state of his mind following the drinking bout of the afternoon. If the jury came to the conclusion, that accused did hot intend to cause serious injury to O'Keefe and brought in a verdict of manslaughter it would not be unreasonable or unjust.

His Honor, after explaining to the jury the distinction between murder and manslaughter, said the facts were not contested except as to the effects of drink from which Finnigan was suffering. His Honor characterised the assault as cowardly and brutal, and said the jury would have to consider whether it had been established that when he inflicted the injuries accused knew that what he was doing was likely to cause death. It was not clear which of the blows caused the hemorrhage. The striking of the deceased's head on the deck as he was pulled out of his bunk might have caused the fatal injury.

After a retirement of 55 minutes the jury returned with a verdict of guilty of manslaughter. Counsel said that Finnigan had been a fireman for many years, and during the war was in the merchant service. He had been in torpedoed ships and had received an injury to his head. The man was living apart from his wife and had one child to support.

Addressing the prisoner, His Honor said: “It is only right to say I fully concur with the verdict of the jury in finding you guilty of the lesser charge. It is impossible, however, to know what your antecedents are, as that can only be gained from your own statements. You have been found guilty of a cowardly and brutal assault on one of your shipmates, resulting in his death. For that it is necessary that I should pass a substantial sentence.

The sentence of the Court is 10 years' imprisonment.

The prisoner heard his sentence announced without any outward sign of emotion or concern.

Introduced, warm season, perennial, prostrate herb to 60 cm tall. Leaves and stems are hairy with glandular and non-glandular hairs. Leaves are alternate, lanceolate, deeply veined and stem clasping. Blue to mauve tubular flowers (with yellow stamens and throat) arranged caterpillar-like in 2 rows on one side of the flowering stem (scirpoid cyme). Flowers most of the year, but not in winter in southern areas. Grows on a wide range of soil types. Predominantly in areas that receive at least 50% of average annual rainfall in summer. It is mostly a problem of run down pasture and disturbed areas such as cropping paddocks, roadsides and waste land. Regenerates from seed and vegetatively from pieces of plant and roots. It is spread by water, fur of animals and in the gut of animals. A weed which is toxic to animals, quite invasive and difficult to control. Causes chronic liver damage in cattle, sheep and horses; can be fatal. Cultivation encourages its spread by stimulating germination and regrowth of plant parts. Management requires an integrated approach including herbicides, productive pasture, grazing management and biological control. There has only been one biological control agent released in Australia, the blue heliotrope leaf-beetle. At high densities, leaf-beetles can completely defoliate blue heliotrope, with both the larvae and adults feeding on the leaves.

The Buddha taught that, from the relative perspective, wisdom and ignorance are co-emergent and have arisen for sentient beings in that manner since, literally, beginningless time. Although this ignorance has always been with us and is therefore exceedingly, habitually tenacious there is the possibility of an end to it. We can wake up.

From Wikipedia -

 

Dryas octopetala (common names include Mountain Avens, White Dryas, and White Dryad) is an Arctic–alpine flowering plant in the family Rosaceae.

 

It is a small prostrate evergreen subshrub forming large colonies. The specific epithet octopetala derives from the Greek octo (eight) and petalon (petal), referring to the eight petals of the flower, an unusual number in the Rosaceae, where five is the normal number. However, flowers with up to 16 petals also occur naturally.

 

The style is persistent on the fruit with white feathery hairs, functioning as a wind-dispersal agent. The feathery hairs of the seed head first appear twisted together and glossy before spreading out to an expanded ball which the wind quickly disperses.

 

Dryas octopetala has a widespread occurrence throughout mountainous areas where it is generally restricted to limestone outcrops. These include the entire Arctic, as well as the mountains of Scandinavia, Iceland, the Alps, Carpathian Mountains, Balkans, Caucasus and in isolated locations elsewhere. In Great Britain it occurs in the Pennines (northern England), at two locations in Snowdonia (north Wales), and more widely in the Scottish Highlands; in Ireland it occurs on The Burren and a few other sites. In North America it is found in Alaska, most frequently on previously glaciated terrain, reaching as far south as Colorado in the Rocky Mountains.

 

It grows in dry localities where snow melts early, on gravel and rocky barrens, forming a distinct heath community on calcareous soils.

 

It is the official territorial flower of the Northwest Territories, and the national flower of Iceland.

 

The leaves are occasionally used as a herbal tea.

 

The Younger Dryas, Older Dryas and Oldest Dryas stadials are named after Dryas octopetala, because of the great quantities of its pollen found in cores dating from those times. During these cold spells, Dryas octopetala was much more widely distributed than it is today, as large parts of the northern hemisphere that are now covered by forests were replaced in the cold periods by tundra.

The snow angel comes back to life -- barely.

Just across the street from the famous al-Azhar Mosque in Islamic Cairo is probably the holiest site in the entire city: the al-Hussein Mosque, built in 1154 CE.

 

The mosque was named after Hussein [the second Ismaili imam, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) and son of Ali, the fourth caliph for Sunnis and the first imam for Shias].

 

Hussein was beheaded as a martyr in the Battle of Karbala in present-day Iraq on the 10th of Muharram, 680 CE. This date is known as Ashura (loosely translated to "ten" in Arabic) and its observance is one of the many aspects of Islam that separates the Sunnis from the Shias.

 

For Shias, the 10th of Muharram is a day of mourning as it is the day their first imam became a martyr. Sunnis however fast on the 10th of Muharram as it is said that the Prophet Moses fasted on this day to show gratitude to God for freeing the Israelites from Egypt.

 

However, Hussein became a martyr in 680 in Iraq, so why was there a mosque built in his honor in Egypt almost 500 years later?

 

Hussein's body and head was buried in Karbala near the place of his death after the battle, and a shrine / mosque was built in the space a few years later. It is known as the Hussein Mosque (similar to what became the name of the Cairene mosque). All the martyrs from the Battle of Karbala were also buried in a nearby mass grave. This site commonly known as the holiest site for Shias after Makkah/Medina.

 

But it is said that around the time that the 21st Shia Imam / Fatimid ruler, Tayyab, went into hiding, the head of Hussein was ordered to be transferred from the Hussein Mosque in Karbala to Cairo, and in 1154 they built a mausoleum for it, and a mosque around it: the al-Hussein Mosque. It is believed that this is the present location of Hussein's head, as well as a few other artifacts.

 

Next to Hussein's mausoleum is what is known to be the oldest and complete Qur'an existing today (seen here). It is written in much larger text than normally found in Qur’ans and it is blocked off by bars and glass, the same one's blocking off the mausoleum.

 

Also in the mosque (though the only confirmation I got of this is from two Egyptians in the mosque at the time), there is a closed off room that is said to house a few hairs from the Prophet Muhammad's (saw) beard, a sword and eyelashes. However, Topkapi Palace in Turkey claims to have the same artifacts and more -- perhaps both places have them. I have not yet been to Turkey so I cannot confirm the accuracy of this detail.

 

However there is something that I would like to write of al-Hussein's mosque that I found, as a Muslim, very disheartening.

 

In Islam, there is a term known as Shirk. Literally, "polytheism." Or to consider anyone a god other than God, or to associate partners with God (as in the Prophet Jesus being God's son). In Islam, shirk is known as one of the worst, if not the worst, sin. It is written in the Qur'an that God forgives any sin except for those who commit shirk.

 

Well, the reason I felt very disheartened in the al-Hussein Mosque is because I witnessed countless amounts of shirk. The acts of course could also be seen as paying respects, but there are tamer ways to pay respects, I feel.

 

I don't mean to offend anyone by writing this, because everyone has the right to believe and behave however they want, but as a Muslim, I was not happy with what I saw going on in the al-Hussein mosque.

 

In the mausoleum, the entire group was singing chants and prayers about Hussein. Many were rubbing their heads and hands against the railing that surrounded the mausoleum. Others kissed it. Weeping. Outside of the mausoleum in the prayer area, men were praying in groups facing the mausoleum. Almost as if they were prostrating before Hussein. These could all be seen as either signs of respect or simply praying toward Makkah (as Makkah is technically in the direction they were praying), but then why did they choose to pray directly in front of the mausoleum? The entire mosque was empty. To me, this is known as shirk, as they were dignifying Hussein to holy levels. Something very wrong in Islam.

 

The same thing was going on for the closed off room that housed Muhammad's (saw) beard / sword (seen in this photo here). Men lined up to kiss the door that supposedly housed such artifacts. Rubbed their heads and face against the door. To me, there are other ways to show respect than to kiss and bow your heads towards a person, or the idea of a person. Especially when the ways you choose to show respect is forbidden in Islam.

 

But what bothered me most about all of it was that no one was saying anything. It seemed common place.

 

Shias obviously hold Hussein in a much higher light than Sunnis do – and by connection they hold Ali in a much higher light. This form of paying respects is common place at the mosque in Karbala where the majority of people who go are Shia. But in Egypt, where it is said that Sunni is by and large the majority sect? Like figures that describe 99% Sunni? Why is there so much of this going on in a mosque, and on an Eid of all days!

 

(btw, there cannot be any absolute truth to the 99% figure of Sunnis. Cairo was in fact created by the Fatimid Empire, who was all Shia. There is a big anti-Shia sentiment in Cairo, or rather all of Egypt, but there is no way there are that few Shias in this country.)

 

A friend brought it to my attention that when she went for Umrah (like Hajj/pilgrimage) that security had to keep Muslims from the Prophet's (saw) tomb in Medina as they would perform the same type of shirk acts that I described to her there as well. Why was no one keeping these Muslims from doing the same thing here?

 

I really don’t mean to offend anyone in this writing, but I just can't understand why this was going on. So if anyone can enlighten me, please do so. I also posted up a video of the reverence inside the mausoleum here.

Remembering Tak Bai.

 

At the PAD rally in front of the United Nations Building in Bangkok stallholders in the first week of June 2008 show videos of the Tak Bai "Incident" (i.e. masssacre).

 

Horrific brutality.

 

Most of those standing and watching these videos for their first time turn away at the harshest scenes - as bodies are piled into the backs of army trucks (later the reported death toll was stated as 85, see the list below), as Thai citizens are kicked around on the floor with solid army boots, as rifle butts smash into heads, and as the prostrate arrested are forced to wriggle, tied together by ropes, towards the waiting convoy that was to take them away.

Introduced, warm-season, perennial, prostrate legume, with rhizomes and usually less than 15 cm tall. Stems are hollow. Leaves have 5 leaflets, which are ovate to obovate, to 25 mm long and with long marginal hairs. Flowerheads are clusters of 8-14 yellow flowers (10-12 mm long) on the end of unbranched stalks. Pods are long and cylindrical. Flowering is from late summer to autumn.

A native of Europe and North Africa, it is sown and naturalized in high rainfall areas and on wet and waterlogged soils. It is tolerant of acid low-fertility soils. Seed is now difficult to obtain. Usually slow to establish, but will tolerate grass competition after 2-3 years. Can grow under low fertility conditions, but is responsive to increased phosphorus. Tends to die off in patches in hot, dry conditions; reshoot when conditions are favourable. Tolerant of wet conditions, but does not survive prolonged flooding. Low bloat risk. High tannin in some varieties can cause periods of lower palatability, but this can reduce overgrazing and help persistence. More tolerant of grazing than Lotus corniculatus, but some leaf should remain after grazing. Provide some rest in autumn to aid seed set and spread, but conditions may not be suitable every year for seed set.

Since ages, there is a tradition in Tibet that religious people prostrate to holy places (like Lhasa) by measuring their body length that could take years and this tradition is still carried on today.

 

Full prostration: place your hands together and touch your crown, then your throat, and then your heart, then stretch your entire body on the ground and stretch both of your hands as far as possible away from you head and with the forehead touching the ground. Then rise up quickly and and take two steps foreward (were your fingertips ware before, when you stretched on the ground this is the marker to step to) repeat whole cycle for some hundreds of kilometers. Some Tibetans do this for days, some for weeks, some for month and some even take years to compleet and reach there goal "enlightment".

A very prostrate evergreen Cotoneaster, whose long trailing shoots are studded in autumn with bright red berries. It is a first rate ground cover plant, ideal for covering banks and as undercover beneath trees and larger shrubs.

 

It was discovered in China by Ernest Wilson, and introduced to the UK in 1900. AGM 2002.

 

Just out of interest ...

 

Ernest Wilson (1876-1930)

An amateur British botanist in China had alerted Kew to the alarming impact that the charcoal industry was having on the forests of Yunnan province. Concerned, William Thiselton-Dyer at Kew sent a trained botanist, 23-year-old Ernest Henry Wilson, to investigate.

 

‘Of athletic build, and endowed with an indomitable courage and perseverance’, his mission was not only to botanise but also to satisfy the horticultural needs of his financier, the Veitch nursery, for interesting hardy garden plants.

He was to search for one plant in particular, which had been described but never collected. This was the Handkerchief Tree(Davidia involucrata). Following a sketched map and instructions, Wilson located the valley where the tree was last sighted – only to find a stump and a newly erected hut built from its timber! Fortunately he persevered and was later successful.

 

In all, EH ‘Chinese’ Wilson brought us over 1,000 garden plants and around 16,000 herbarium specimens, introducing more plants to Western horticulture than any other collector. His introductions included the Beauty Bush (Kolkwitzia amabilis), the ‘Wilson 50’ Kurume azaleas, and the magnificent King’s Lily (Lilium regale), the collection of which very nearly cost him his life.

Sinowilsonia henryi from central and western China and many species are named in his honour.

It is a deciduous, much branched flowering shrub growing to 0.1–1 m tall, rarely up to 1.5 m. The habit is variably upright to sprawling or prostrate, but stems are often ascending especially those stems with many long branches.It is very often used by cities and businesses for landscaping because of its hardiness and low maintenance.
