Why Are The Women Still Crying?

By D.I. Muhammad 

 In 2010 I published a poem called, My Sisters Cry.  In the poem I spoke against the African practice that was done of Female Genital Mutilation, that proved a young woman's virginity, and after getting married the pain it caused when the man had sex with her.

I wrote of copper colored women in the poem enduring trauma.  Well, it brings me to ask again, "Why are my sisters still crying?"  This time I ask in regards to the Afgani women who are enduring tribulations that are unimaginable for any free woman walking the planet. I would hear the saying as a young adult woman, "There's always someone going through something worst than you."  The Afgani women are that.

The Afghani women have been under a rule of suppression by the Taliban since 2021.  Everything they were once allowed to do they can no longer do such as, schooling, which stops at Sixth grade, drive, run businesses,  walk the street unless they have some place to be, and they have to have a male family member to escort them where ever they go. 

According to, El Pais 50, "Afghan women are banned from working in the administration, security forces, banks, NGOs and United Nations humanitarian agencies. They cannot serve as prosecutors, judges or members of parliament and are not even allowed to run beauty salons, which the Taliban closed in July 2023, depriving them of one of the few places where they could still earn a living and socialize."(Hell on earth for Afghan women: From the ban on education to the legal rape of girls, (https://english.elpais.com/international/2026-06-02/hell-on-earth-for-afghan-women-from-the-ban-on-education-to-the-legal-rape-of-girls.html)

They are no longer able to work in health care, or to get seen by a doctor because they are men.  According to Islamic Law, women are not to show themselves to men who are not their husband, father, brother, grandfather. In Afghanistan women are required to wear Abaya.  An Abaya is a garment that covers a woman from head to toe. You can see no part of her.

According to UN News,

"The UN gender equality agency, UN Women, is raising alarm over the latest Taliban decree which further erodes Afghan women and girls of their rights, nearly five years after the Taliban returned to power.

Decree No. 18, issued by Afghanistan’s de facto Ministry of Justice on 14 May, outlines rules for separation from a spouse and has sparked concerns over an increase in child marriage and women’s ability to leave abusive relationships.

Unlike laws in place before the Taliban takeover, the decree sets no minimum age for marriage and instead rules that child marriage can only be annulled only after a girl reaches puberty. 

The move risks normalizing child marriage in Afghanistan. (UN warns Afghan women are ‘no longer equal before the law, May 26, 2026, https://news.un.org/en/story/2026/05/1167591)

The other thing that has risen is child marriage.  Men are able to marry a child as young as six or seven.  Where does this come from? They are following the ways and actions of Muhammad when he married Aisha.

In the hadith of Al-Bukhari:

Sahih al-Bukhari 5134 - Wedlock, Marriage (Nikaah) - كتاب النكاح - Sunnah.com - Sayings and Teachings of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم) (https://share.google/VFnGDjnzaFPjgBTjY)

"Narrated `Aisha:

that the Prophet (ﷺ) married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Hisham said: I have been informed that `Aisha remained with the Prophet (ﷺ) for nine years (i.e. till his death).  (Sahih Al-Buhkari 1534

In Sahih Muslim,

16  

The Book of Marriage

(10)

Chapter: It is permissible for a father to arrange the marriage of a young virgin

(10)

باب تَزْوِيجِ الأَبِ الْبِكْرَ الصَّغِيرَةَ ‏

"Sahih Muslim 1422 c

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) married her when she was seven years old, and he was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls were with her; and when he (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old. (https://sunnah.com/muslim:1422c)"

Nowhere in the Quran is this spoken of. The Quran does say of marriage that, 

"21.And one of His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves so that you may find comfort in them. And He has placed between you compassion and mercy. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect. (Translated Dr. Mustafa Khattab, Book Ar-Rum, 

Quran.com)

"187.Permitted to you, on the night of the fasts, is the approach to your wives. They are your garments and ye are their garments. Allah knoweth what ye used to do secretly among yourselves; but He turned to you and forgave you; so now associate with them, and seek what Allah Hath ordained for you, and eat and drink, until the white thread of dawn appear to you distinct from its black thread; then complete your fast Till the night appears; but do not associate with your wives while ye are in retreat in the mosques. Those are Limits (set by) Allah: Approach not nigh thereto. Thus doth Allah make clear His Signs to men: that they may learn self-restraint." (Translated by Yusuf Ali, Al-Baqarah,  Quran.com)

What book are the Taliban following?  That it's now allowed for any man in the country to legally beat a woman when she is barely breathing under a tyrannical system.  Rape is now legal. 

So, I don't know which atrocity disgust me more. FGM or what's happening in Afghanistan that world leaders act as if it doesn't exist.  I mean tell the world how you really feel about women, without saying a word. 

I believe in Karma, because she does her job exceptionally well. I'm waiting on her to come see that nation, and give you your due justice. Too many tears are falling. Too many lives have been done. Free will of rights given by the Divine have been trampled upon like its okay. It's just too many.

While a system is hiding behind a religion when in actuality its men bent on power, and ego, that don't like women, and geared towards pedophilia.  But the article only mentions the men marrying underage girls. What happens to a society when the women are gone, and the men have to deal with their own devices among one another. You then have a society built on pederasty. The issue on men dealing with young boys.  Who's to say that is not already occurring. 

There have been those who were able to break free, and flee to England were they are advocating on behalf of the other Afghani women.   The Afghani women have also protested as well, only to be beat by the Taliban for doing so. 

Why Are The Women Still Crying

D.I. Muhammad

Why are the women still crying?
Feeling carried by men who are broken
Governed by a declaration of religion
Free will abused
You will spiritual get what you sow because of that.
I don't know what to be more pissed at female genital mutilation
Or the fact that a woman's whole identity just got
ripped away
You want to keep her ignorant, unseen, and not heard
Floating in your own ego
My sister's cry is more than drive by
It's now stripping her of God given rights
No protection from the wrath of an angry man
May the Most High Protect you
May your sons become men with morals
That what is natural for you be given back to you.

Dedicated to the Afgani women

A Message To ALL Men

This is the season for men to start working in alignment with women.  This is not about rule over men like it was in patriarchy.  Women, if you go into this season thinking that or repeating those actions, the ancestors will deal with you too.  We are in a season of alignment,  unity, working together.  Matriachy is rising back to her seat where she will accept nothing except her Divine Masculine to sit next to her. 

From Goddesses to God (Link is Live)

As one who was once a practicing Muslim, there were things that I read in the Quran that caught my attention, and I would ask for clarification, but would only receive responses back to, "Trust in Allah."  Questions needed answers, and I'm one to go seek them out. But every time I would read the Quran the verse concerning Allah not having daughters would always stop me in reading, as I pondered why this was being mentioned. 

 Journey with me back through the Arabian past where worshippers had different gods. In a time before religion became monotheistic, and brought Islam to Arabia, there were those who venerated the feminine. 

A past where the Quran briefly mentions these three goddesses as not being the daughters of Allah. 

There was a time in Arabia's past where the people were polytheistic. 

Come join me as I travel and show who these women were that were once venerated, and adored and sewn into the culture of Arabia. 

My book, From Goddess to God: Pre-Islamic Arabian Goddesses is available as an ebook here at Payhip.

Quantum Entanglement or Synchronicity

 

                    

The Physics of Fate: From Quantum Entanglement to Synchronicity

I was watching a short film on YouTube called Quantum Entangled. It dealt with two people who crossed paths three times without realizing it, until the woman finally notices him.

Once she does, he is suddenly so present in her reality that everywhere she goes, there he is. It happens so much that she actually thinks he’s following her. The movie then dips back to the guy in class, listening to his professor explain Quantum Entanglement. The guy thinks this physics phenomenon is exactly what he’s experiencing, and he tells the woman about it.

He also shares this theory with his friend. The friend quickly points out that Quantum Entanglement is strictly about subatomic particles. The guy responds with the ultimate line: "We're subatomic particles." To prove his point about their entanglement to the girl, he tells her to drive to a random place and he'll meet her there. She asks, "How do I know you won't follow me?" He simply says, "I'll be there waiting." And sure enough, against all odds, he is.

In physics, this is known as Quantum Entanglement. Initially, I wanted to equate this purely with "Oneness." I realized that Oneness, also known as Non-Duality, is the ultimate state of realizing that separation is an illusion. Just as two entangled particles act as a single system, Non-Duality teaches that you and the universe are not separate, but part of one unbroken whole. We see this across many traditions: in Buddhism, it's "The Net of Indra"; in Western esotericism and mysticism, it's the "Anima Mundi" (The Soul of the World); and in New Age spirituality, it’s expressed as "Twinflames."

But after sitting with the movie today, it occurred to me that the exact word I was searching for to make Quantum Entanglement relatable to our human experience was synchronicity.

At some point in time, most of us have experienced what the two characters in this movie did. The act of not noticing someone, and then suddenly noticing them all the time. Or constantly seeing the specific vehicle that someone drives. Or constantly smelling a perfume or cologne someone you used to know always wore, whether you smell it on strangers, or it's a "phantom smell" that appears out of nowhere and disappears just as quickly. These are all perfect examples of synchronicities.

This concept goes even deeper when you look at the Twin Flame theory. Many people report an unexplainable telepathy or an intuitive "knowing" with their counterpart. You suddenly think of a specific song, and they text you the lyrics a second later. You feel an abrupt wave of anxiety out of nowhere, only to find out they just went through a stressful moment. Science might not have proven human telepathy in a lab yet, but the experience of it is a textbook synchronicity. It is the ultimate mental entanglement, the inner world of one person perfectly mirroring the inner world of another with no physical explanation.

The term "synchronicity" was coined by psychologist Carl Jung. He defined them as meaningful coincidences with no logical, physical cause.

Think about the climax of the short film. She asks how she knows he won't just follow her to the meetup. He says, "I'll be there waiting," and he is. That isn't stalking. That is a synchronicity acting as a bridge. It is the universe dropping a breadcrumb to show you the interconnected web. We like to think we are isolated individuals, but the movie challenges that.

In fact, the professor in the film states:

"Have you ever started noticing someone everywhere? At the coffee shop. On the subway. At a random street corner. Eventually, you start feeling like you're being followed. But what if you aren't being stalked? What if you are being entangled?"

This film beautifully reminds us of a deeper spiritual truth: there is no space between us anymore.

💬 Let's Discuss!

• What's the strangest "coincidence" or synchronicity you've ever experienced?
• Have you ever experienced that Twin Flame telepathy or a sudden, unexplainable "knowing"?
• Have you ever smelled a "phantom smell" that felt like a cosmic sign?

Overheard

                             

      By D I. Muhammad 

I'm in the middle of rewriting my Goddesses to God book, so I can publish it.  I had to take a break.  Functioning on just ice coffee wasn't going to do it.  I go downstairs,  and crack open my front door to let some air in, and if my cats want to watch the world they can. 

I'm standing in the living room looking for something to munch on and in the quiet of my neighborhood block I hear a man's voice. He's loud, not screaming loud, but loud. I hear the voice get closer to my house and he says, "What you mean,Naw?"

I'm still looking out the window to see a shadow walking up my porch. It's my mailman.  He gets on my porch still talking on his phone, as he slides my mail in the mail slot.  "So, what I believe in, you don't?"  He walks off my porch as the person on the other end says something.  I hear him say calmly,  "Wait a minute." Calmly again he says, "Wait a minute, slow down, but your saying..."  I then went back to doing what I was doing saying out loud, "He having issues with his lady."

We all have relationship issues, but here's the thing, most of us in the beginning don't vet out the people we seek.  Asking the questions that we find are important to us.  Is there an energy of connection.  Not horniness. Connection.  

After he left, my first reaction was, 'Is that a negotiation?'  Yes, we all have opinions, that is what makes us unique,  but my thing is are we aligned in our way of viewing things. The way I see things can be different, it should be, but if it's way off the track different that we are going to constantly bump heads, then why are we here with each other.   

But in my mail man's voice there was a sound of hurt, and maybe a little betrayal, but whatever the issue was, I hope he works it out, if that is what he seeks. 

We are now in a season where couples will be tested as those who do not truly belong together will be moved apart from one another, and those who are supposed to be Divinely aligned will finally get their match.  

This is a time of chosing which side of the energy track you want to be on. One of purpose and alignment or the same low vibratory one you have been living in since the day you were born.  You are being given a chance to chose before the energetic door closes.

The person in your life. That job. Whatever it may be can be your peace or your hell.  Finding out early if a person is morally, mentally, emotionally compatible with you early is how you vet people out.  I believe in there's a person Divinely designed for you.  We shouldn't have to settle.

Catching that piece of my mailman's conversation confirmed something for me, love isn't something to negotiate. It's about whole connection and understanding between both parties. I hope he finds his way to that, whatever the issue was.

Deer in my Backyard

  

                             

Image by Edward Roets

      I live in the city and just saw Bambi in my backyard tonight. How she got there without being seen is mind blowing.  My cat doesn't know what to make out of it.  He's just on guard. 

I am in awe right now to see this beautiful animal up close and personal.  That it decided to come visit me.  

My 24 year old daughter rushed upstairs and broke me out my writing excitedly waving her hands for me to come saying something I didn't catch. Not once but twice. I get up anyway. As I rush behind her out my room, I ask, "What you say?"  "There's a deer in the backyard."  

I'm rushing down the stairs now. I get to the back door and there she is just standing there looking around.  I say to my daughter, "You're not videoing this?"  I'm standing at the back door with my hand covering my open mouth. I'm just stunned. In awe. 

My daughter gave me her phone to record.  She, the deer,  walks around. Comes close to my back door to look at my cat.   She then walks over to eat the weeds growing.  

I watched this deer for five minutes.  The little girl in me came out today watching that deer.  I still don't understand how she wasn't seen walking the neighborhood and how she got into my backyard. 

Videos are not the best. 

The spiritual meaning of seeing a deer

For the End of the Year Event for my Pre-K class we had a day in the park. The park was in Southfield,  MI.  People are used to seeing deer.  After the event was over and I'm driving up Beech Daley, I catch a deer running into the woods.    If this is the meaning I've been told to slow down and to approach my challenges gently.  You never know how signs will approach you to act towards yourself and the situations you face.   Just listen.
