Fasal on Static Electricity

Electrons are all around us, however how we harness it to be useful electricity matters.

However, we need to first understand the concepts of static electricity.

Electrons can be harvested from around us though running two surfaces like resin or a rough cloth.

This is static electricity build-up.

Static electricity can also be generated by standing on a threaded carpet and with a niya' (clear intention) for Allah.

inshaAllah, we will feel the electricity flowing through our body, like a goosebumps we feel with our small little hairs on our arms standing.

However this occurs on a person with a pure heart (detached from the world) with dzikir for Allah, inshaAllah, that is calm and reassuring. (try it!, it's Allah's SWT's will. insha'Allah!), this has nothing to do with "ilmu kebatinan" but purely based on scientific understanding.

What i had observed is by accident because this static electricity happens whenever i was listening to dzikirs and selawat and does not necessary happen with a carpet and happens all the time, even during the day; or after wudu' before sleep.

The question is how we could exploit this force of nature to be even more useful for us, to a point of harvesting these forces of nature (ie. Lightning) without wasting this very precious resource?

To understand the nature of it we need to better understand it looking at useful properties of metals and earthly matter first based on the ideas from the revealed knowledge. insha'Allah.

The Thunder (13:11) 

لَهُۥ مُعَقِّبَـٰتٌۭ مِّنۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِۦ يَحْفَظُونَهُۥ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا۟ مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ ۗ وَإِذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍۢ سُوٓءًۭا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهُۥ ۚ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَالٍ ١١

English Translation
For each one there are successive angels before and behind, protecting them by Allah’s command. Indeed, Allah would never change a people’s state ˹of favour˺ until they change their own state ˹of faith˺. And if it is Allah’s Will to torment a people, it can never be averted, nor can they find a protector other than Him.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

Malay Translation
Bagi tiap-tiap seorang ada malaikat penjaganya silih berganti dari hadapannya dan dari belakangnya, yang mengawas dan menjaganya (dari sesuatu bahaya) dengan perintah Allah. Sesungguhnya Allah tidak mengubah apa yang ada pada sesuatu kaum sehingga mereka mengubah apa yang ada pada diri mereka sendiri. Dan apabila Allah menghendaki untuk menimpakan kepada sesuatu kaum bala bencana (disebabkan kesalahan mereka sendiri), maka tiada sesiapapun yang dapat menolak atau menahan apa yang ditetapkanNya itu, dan tidak ada sesiapapun yang dapat menolong dan melindungi mereka selain daripadaNya.
— Abdullah Muhammad Basmeih

Tafseer
Surah Ar-Ra'd (Quran 13:11), Allah states He will not change a people's condition unless they change what is within themselves, emphasizing that personal transformation (in faith, actions, and mindset) is required for divine help and to alter circumstances, as change starts from within through free will and self-improvement. 

Insha'Allah, For people who could comprehend what is happening, what is around them are angels of Allah SWT from the translation and the explanation of static electricity.

It is how Allah SWT repels syaitan with an angel's whip (Lightning) where the angel's name is R'ad.

Light-ning - produces light. 

In the context for the Malays to change, Allah states that He will not change a people's condition unless they change what is within themselves. If they turn back into learning the revealed knowledge of Allah to understand every wisdom that is within it. insha'Allah.

Sadly, our knowledge was almost lost due to colonial invasion and wars and there had been a confusion around the wisdom from our original Malay kitabs (or books) 

insha'Allah with the guidance of the revealed knowledge, we will restore it back. insha'Allah.
