In the Name Of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Where do we begin? “And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together (in Jama’ah) and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you, when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided. And let there arise from you a nation (Jama’ah) inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful. And do not be like the ones who became divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to them. And those will have a great punishment.” (3: 104-105) “ If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory complete.” - Sun Tzu Volume 1 is all about consistency. Consistently delivering a newsletter every week for 50 weeks. Consistently writing on the topics of tribal families, community, planning, and group economics. Consistently expounding on the topics I first presented in my book The Art of Islamic Strategy in the Modern Age Book 1. Issue 10 is my first milestone. The next milestone is Issue 50. How many objectives can be achieved by then? My initial strategy is simple: 1: Consistently present pertinent information 2: Consistently demonstrate practical knowledge 3: Network with others who are doing the same 4: Work on a joint Project
Freedom Gardens 40 week countdown: 40 weeks left Objective #1: Learn to grow and care for 10 types of fruit vegetables in your area. At least one must be a perennial. Objective #2: Establish a network of people in your area who are also working towards freedom. You are only limited by your own ambition.
Food and Families First and Freedom Gardens Food and Families First is a movement I started in 2014. Freedom Gardens is an extension of that. The primary focus of Freedom Gardens is to empower the youth and families. What does this empowerment entail? The objectives of the Freedom Garden clubs are: 1. to teach youth and families how to grow food in their area 2. to create a support network of people and institutions 3. to create an easy path to land ownership
Families that have the skills to grow food on their land and a network to support them, that is my intended legacy. That is empowerment.
How can you get involved? I am starting the Freedom Garden 40-week challenge. The two objectives of the challenge are listed at the top of this page. The challenge itself serves several purposes. First of all, it separates the wheat from the chaff. It clearly identifies those who are willing to do something practical and those who are waiting for others to do it all for them. You are only limited by your own ambition. This is the beginning of a grand design. It is essential that you understand who to classify as being in your network and who is not. If you have never met the person or group in real life, if you have never seen them work on anything (memes do not count), and you have never experienced any physical product they claim to have produced, then you should not count them as being in your network. This concept is very important especially when it comes to building an extensive network of individuals and businesses. Next issue:
