Shamil reads the missive and nods approvingly "May Allah strengthen their command structure and grant them victory, They seem to hold great honor, Perhaps I shall visit soon."

Ramadan Kareem As normally I got you with the click bait, man, I have been doing this for years now, but regardless I will be writing about this great event as I do every year. To all my fellow EPIC MINEMAN AND LOTC PLAYERS who are not aware exactly what this post is and what is going on! Every year I, yours truly, write ‘THE RAMADAN POST’ in which I express what Ramadan is, The values of Ramadan, and of course THE LOTC RAMADAN CHALLENGE(more on this later). I always post 3 ramadan posts in Ramadan, The first one(This one) The last 10 days, And then the EID post. Needless to say, I am very happy to have arrived at this point in life with all of you again, where I can see my friends and community thrive, and beat each other with good vibes, and do their best to try and promote goodness and kindness, so in this regard, Happy Ramadan everyone, from the bottom of my heart. To those that are un-aware there is QUITE a large Muslim community on LOTC, and many of us participate in Ramadan, and many of us LEAVE LOTC for the month! What is Ramadan SO What is RAMADAN!? And why are there billions of people so excited for it! Well Ramadan is the ninth month on the Islamic Calendar, now I know, I know, ‘Ibraheem, What is so special about a 9th month out of all things?’ Well I'd say RELAX I GOT YOU! It is so special because this month, Ramadan, Is when the Quran, The Islamic Holy text and word was first sent down. In this month, Muslims from all around the world fast from sunrise till sunset. This is to remind ourselves of the blessings we have, and to also humble us to remember those less fortunate who do not have food, so that we may become closer to our fellow human beings. That means not consuming anything, Including food and water, and also not partaking in the birds and the bees. Now I already hear you saying ‘But Ibraheem, You absolute hulking chad of a Man, Why is that so significant? And is that it?’ Well don't you worry you mineman block roleplayer, Brother Ibraheem is here yet again to answer your questions! In Ramadan, we muslims Call this month a Month of MERCY, you see, we believe that Shaytan otherwise known as Ibless or Satan or THE DEVIL, Is locked up! In this month with the devil locked up you are able to much easier to drop bad habits, promote and grow new good ones, and become both a better person both physically and spiritually! What are the values of Ramadan Now there is a lot of aspects about Ramadan, But in this month we try to better ourselves by doing good deeds and begin actively doing a large increase of good actions this month to reap all the rewards it provides, So… What are some of these actions I speak about, Well, This is often literally everything that is good but the most common is feeding the hungry, Giving charity, helping around the community it being cleaning up, or helping old lady jenkins down the road install her new tv that she still calls a gimmick. But why? I hear you ask. Well In Ramadan we believe that YOUR GOOD DEEDS are multiplied by 70! Yes you heard me, 70 times you get the good deeds of doing one, now that's a steal, Especially because even a Smile is charity, and that's a good deed! Not only in this blessed month, We believe on the last TEN nights, God goes down to the lowest heavens and listens to the Dua(requests) from us and answers them or gives us something TEN TIMES BETTER FOR US! There is SO much benefits to Ramadan, that if I stayed here typing, you all would have left from exhaustion of reading SO, Ill finish this off with the PHYSICAL benefits of fasting What are the PHYSICAL Benefits of Ramadan Not only this, Fasting in this certain way is actually SUPER healthy for you!(Do note, you are exempt from fasting if you poor, on your time of the month(women stuff), medical needs such as medicine or emergencies, and if you vomit and extra, please consult with your local imam for more details or look online, TDLR Fast if you are able, and do not fast if you cannot medically) Fasting actually super healthy for you, a matter of fact in Ramadan, you are not supposed to have giant feasts, but small healthy dinners, and not overeat, a common mistake which takes place when fasting, because people fast all day and when they can break their fast, they go all in with a huge plate, instead they should eat small portions and healthy foods, this is heavily encouraged. Now what does fasting do to the body if done properly? I'm glad you asked! This will make you self care people very happy, and those chads who like to go to the gym and get fit! When you fast in this way, it actually detoxes the body. Now here is the breakdown of each stage of the thirty days of fasting! Stage 1, during the first couple of days of fasting both blood sugar level and blood pressure level drops, and the body begins the cleansing process, the first few days are the hardest as they are usually accompanied with headaches, dizziness, nausea and intense hunger. Stage 2, during the second stage, the body becomes accustomed to the fasting schedule, and the digestive system is able to rest. The Digestive system’s energy now focuses on cleansing the body and healing the cells as the white blood cells start to become more active. During this stage the organs start their repair process as well. Stage 3, by the third stage energy levels will have increased, your mind is able to concentrate better, and a overall feeling of wellness, During fasting the body’s healing process becomes more efficient, and so the body repairs any damaged cells during this stage, during this stage the colon, liver, kidney, lungs and skin are detoxing by eliminating toxins. Stage 4, during the last ten days of fasting, the body has become accustomed to the fasting process, your body becomes more energetic and you experience of improved memory and concentration, at this stage the organs are finishing up their healing process and once all toxics are removed the body is able to function at it’s maximum capacity. These are just SOME of the physical benefits of fasting that will take place in the body. But your good deeds you do this month will feel FAR better than anything you do this month! THE RAMADAN CHALLENGE! Now for those who are unaware, Every Ramadan, I give a Challenge to all the non Muslims and the Muslims during Ramadan, Last year was completely insane, More people partook than I had seen before. BUT I believe we can crush last year and absolutely destroy this years challenge. This year, I want you to 1. Comment and ping someone and express your appreciation to them 2. Comment ONE THING you appreciate about lotc, be it the community, the friends you made or even lessons. The more you ping or the more your comment, the better! Remember even a SMILE is charity so is a good comment, So reap your first 70 times good deeds now! FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO PARTAKE THIS RAMADAN Now This Ramadan, The Ramadan Discord will be held in the Qalasheen Discord, later tonight we will be finishing the Subsection of the Ramadan channel, in which muslims from LOTC or those who wish to learn or partake in the fasting will support one another and learn! Here every year we host events, and study groups and work together in increasing our knowledge and encouraging one another to keep doing the best they can! Even if your not muslim your welcome to come and learn from us! This will include Islamic Videos, movies, Shows, and extra to help bring forth the knowledge Inshallah. https://discord.gg/SBCJ22n6g7 AND NOW YOUR RAMADAN MEMES

I don't agree with hostility oocly, But I disagree on banning such roleplay wise. Just because they roleplay somthing does not mean that is what they believe IRL. I have had many people play my kids, and they were oocly gay, and were full heartly fine with any anti gay rp. Banning it will not solve anything for roleplay. Roleplay should encourage conflict, and I do understand there is harassment oocly and thats fucked up, and I am sorry if you go through that, though we should not ban any type of roleplay, Besides ERP.

((Does only cannonist receive this or can Iman Rashidun followers as well?

A said Rashidun Jihadist is confused by any incursions into the dark Forrest or area they live but fully supports the big epic Samurai from absolute conquest, and makes dua to aid them in their battles to come! +1

"Subhan Allah, Glory be to Allah, lord of the worlds. Alhumdillah I am a Mumineen, and Alhumdillah, All praise be to Allah, for the blessings I have received." Said Shamil as a girl read the poem to him as he lifted a net from the river in which fish flopped wildly onto his boat, turning to offer a warm smile to her as she stood on the desert shore, he could not see her face due to her beautiful hijab and veil, a testament to her modesty before Allah. "Shukran, Thank you Zahwah, Debb's words bring good remembrance of Allah." He then took his small dagger from his woolen cloth like belt around his waste and began to kill the fish, his boat rocked side to side from the waves and the strength of the fish upon the river. He was excited to try new recipes with the fish, Humbled before Allah not as a great king, or grand Advisor, but a simple fishing boy and aspiring cook listening to Zahwah strum her oud and sing Qalasheen folk songs. "Alhumdillah, Thank you my lord." he said to himself once more. @APurrfectPossum

Shamil stood atop his black horse as it circled and made clouds of dust as a pillar fell, his heart embrightened and enslaved with passion as they removed the insult to his tribe by the audacity of the invader for placing such a thing in their claimed land. His heart now at ease after its removal he shouted glorification to his lord, and can now rest happy having it removed from the land.

Shamil mounted his horses as he took a sheild from his friend on foot, as he looked to the Masjid he unsheathed his sword as his black steed reared his sword danced with the morning sunlight "ALLAHU AKBAR! They dishonor the Southern summit's agreement of land! AND SO WE SHALL FIGHT FOR IT! THERE IS NO GOD BUT GOD! AND MAY THEIR SHRINES CRUMBLE! ALLLLLAAAAAHHH HU AKBARR!!"

Shamil read the missive, and for a moment looked confused, before reading it again, and then once more, and then a final time. "Cannonists do love to change how their faith is." He then made his way back to the camp as he simply just shrugged "Alhumdillah, I keep firm to my Deen, Like a strong tree in a storm, not bending or breaking to the whims of Shaytan and ibless, Allah keep the Rashidun safe. Well... At least they won't show public indecency...I hope... Though at this rate, Cannonists may approve of such soon.. Eh, Not my problem." ---------------- Somewhere there is a Musin of Iman Rashidun speaking to a group of Musin in the mountains "BY ALLAH, you may see the Kuffar change their own book, Varily how they behave is that of Shaytan! YA MUSIN MUJAHIDEEN! Beware first they legalize SAME GENDER MARRIAGE! NEXT THEY WILL LEGALIZE STEALING OF CHEESE! Prepare to Defend the Mountain for jihad! for soon they will swarm like the lustful demons that they are!"

+1 sounds epic as all heart's stuff normally is

Shamil's smile warmed at seeing Debb approach for Salaah waving a hand to his brother in faith as the two prepared the area for prayer to the One and Almighty Lord, whom they declare worthy of worship and servitude to. "Hasbunallahu Wa Ni'mal Wakeel, Allah is enough for me and he is the best disposer of my affairs." He stated as he continued to recite the dhikr upon his tongue with the comfort of Allah being enough for him as he learned from his brothers and sisters, indeed Iman Rashidun was a rightly guided faith.

Shamil struggled to read before finishing before looking slowly to Abdur "Well thats... Thats sad.. is it time to pray yet... I have new appreciations for being amongst the Mumineen."

"Mashallah." Said young Shamil as someone read the letter nearby

A Removal From Leadership Documents arrive through Bird to all nations across Aevos, pinned by hand in their land’s Poster walls, and even in the cloud temple. “As-salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu, may you be safe from evil, and the Mercy of Allah and His Blessings be upon you. From the Farfolk Ummah(Nation), To the world of Aevos, and those who follow righteous guidance. Many of you are aware of our situation, in a time of Darkness, many of us banded together and united to once again raise our people from the floor as we had been tossed to. It is not a easy thing for us to announce, but as many of you know, from our old world Almaris, Our Leader Emir Lujain Al-Jabir has been missing, though with a great mixture of feelings, Countless and years of searching and arguments The Majlis of the Farfolks have gathered the refugees, and with a regret, we announce the removal of Emir Lujain Al-Jabir of All leadership and titles from Farfolk people, if he is Alive, he may rejoin the community, but may not take a position of leadership, and must work under the current time’s government and leadership and must rekindle his trust within the community and earn any position or title given to him, any and all claims to the Farfolk leadership will be considered treason to the Farfolk people, and a effort to bring Fitna to the community and will be deemed and punished for such. The Farfolks and the Majlis has decided such under a great deal of Deliberation of the following and reasonings for our course of actions: -Missing for a great period of time -Disregard and insults to Religious beliefs and customs -Disregard and insults to Culture and Traditions -Plans to Remove Culture and Traditions -Question of Loyalty[Soldier and Government official in Balian] -Unjust Banishment of Farfolk Citizens -Unjust use of power -Theft of citizen property of the Farfolk State To the world, know that Indeed the Farfolks are most fair and most just within their decisions. We uphold the truth and forbid the evil, in honor and respect of rebuilding we have chosen forgiveness and redemption for Lujain, May he return home safe to his brothers and sisters. To those in the world who had been asking, ‘Where is the farfolk?’ ‘Where is the mumineen?’ We once again state we are here in Adria, rebuilding our strength to advance into the world and reclaim a land for ourselves. Currently the temporary Sheikh will be Zubayr Ibn Adel Al-Habib until Sheikh Arslan’s health returns to him in the coming days, in the meantime, any deals or agreements can be made with Qa’id Zubayr, or Sheikh Arsla. May Allah keep us all safe, and keep the Mumineen and farfolks strong, Ameen Ya Rab.

Eid Mubarak! I know this post is a day late but Eid Mubarak! For those that don’t know Today, and Yesterday is Eid Al-Adha, and as tradition here, Every year I make an informative post for both Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha! Now What is Eid Al-Adha? Eid Al-Adha is known as Feast of Sacrifice, it is a Annual religious holiday of Islam after the Holy Pilgrimage of Haji. This Eid Celebrates and Honors the Prophet Abraham and his almost sacrifice of his son, Ishmael, on the orders of God. Now Why is this so important that it gets a entire three to four days? Well, That circles back down to Haji, Each year Muslims around the world make pilgrimage to Mecca and perform Haji, Where they do a multitude of things such as stoning a pillar, Making Tawaf around the Kaba, and moving through mountains and much more. The reason its so important is that every muslim is required at least once in their life to perform Haji. Now, many of you will be asking, Whats with the picture, why is there a lamb there… Well, Instead of sacrificing Abraham’s son, he was then commanded to slaughter a Ram. Well in order to complete your Haji, your are required to also slaughter either a sheeps, goats or cows. And then the meat is given to the poor in charity, many who also do not preform haji, also slaughter these animals and donate the meat to the poor. There are many who question and disagree with slaughtering these animals, but to do a quick little explanation on its ethical points. The Slaughtering of the Animals is done in a Halal way, which multiple studies have shown, when performed correctly it, The slaughtered does not feel pain and is the most humane way, For the record, Kosher and Halal ways are both similar and both are approved to be the most ethical. Now! With all that special information out! What do we do on Eid? Well Everyone celebrates! We go see family, pelt the kids with candy and get them the good old holiday sugar-high, Your cool uncle stuffs money in your pocket, and of course a good old feast. What surprised? Its just a normal holiday like everyone else! Except there isnt alcohol or pork or Haram things. NOW EID MUBARAK! GO HAVE FUN! I know I am! Sorry for post being late was busy working and also had to go to eid prayer at 7 am for my masjid and I was there till 3pm EID MUBARAK EVERYONE, YES YOU WHO AREN'T MUSLIMS TO! GO ENJOY YOURSELVES!

Zubayr worked within his house as he got the missive and a warm smile appear on his face, memories surged in his time in the 33rd farfolk volunteers, the war was hard but knowing the ferrymen made it easier on the heart, they had always been there for him, and to himself, once again sang his regiment's song dedicated for this amazing group. "The despot's heel is on thy sands Ferrymen, my Ferrymen His torches at thy noble door Ferrymen, my Ferrymen! Avenge the patriotic gore! That flecked the roads of Kharassi!-" Than looking to Saahir as he began to join in, a warm grin on his face with his comrads. @Chrisoulis777

Zubayr bin Adel places a cloth on his companions head, cleaning the blood from it. "Patience, we shall see if they will rectify their wrongs, and if they continue to do so.. well.. I hope for man's sake it will not come to that." He states to the very very displeased farfolks in his home.

What about like Food (apples) and rp slime balls (its a food item) with like 4 of each and such. (Im grabing my memories T~T and things of sentimental, to hell with ores and such XD)

Does paper count as a book thing or a ITEM Such as items that hold like descriptions that are like ST signed and such
