Chapter 29: Weather Engineering Mandate Chapter 29 Weather Engineering Mandate(Middle East) Similar to the Christian concept of the False prophet bringing down fire from heaven, the Islamic view of this false end-time prophet would also call down something. In the case of Islam, this False messiah calls down rain to help the earth bring forth vegetation. -The Prophet (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) THE HADITH OF AL-NUWAS IBN SAM'AN AL-KILABI. In chapter 24(Military Engineering Mandate), it was presented that Mars's position in relation to the lunar node was a factor in escalated Rocket fire from Gaza. Such information provides Israel with a sense of foresight regarding possible increased hostility. This chapter will present information that will show how those same aspects regarding Mars and the lunar node could apply to foreseeing heavy rain and thus help everyone in the middle east with emergency response protocols and agricultural timing related to crop growth and development. In irri­ gated agriculture, the amount of rainfall determines the amounts of ir­ rigation water and when it should be applied. Systems that rely on rainfall look for the timing of rainfall to determine crop growth. This would also translate to the timing of fertilizer, herbicide, and pest control use. Rainfall is also key to the timing of harvest opera­ tions for post-harvest activities. The forecast of the weather events help for planning out farm duties, undertaking or withholding the plant­ ing operations, deciding whether or not to irrigate or apply fertilizer, transportation and storage of food grains, and measures to protect livestock. Overall, a successful system of predicting weather helps in the decision making process of agricultural practices. On the next page are dates in which the middle east was afflicted with heavy rain­ fall, flooding, and human casualty. The dates are taken from a study that investigated the dynamics of heavy precipitation events in the Levant and the Middle east.

November 2, 1994, however, doesn't fall within the parameters of Mars being within 30 degrees of the lunar node, which is problematic because there were 600 casualties during that flood event. The only way to resolve that is to judge the events as being influenced by either Mars or the moon being within 30 degrees of the lunar node. If we do that, 7 of the 9 events are cov­ ered, including the early November 1994 flood. Therefore, from the information above, a system of prediction can forecast a phase of heavy rain when Mars is within 30 degrees of the lunar node, and a flash flood warning when the moon, which travels faster than Mars, is within 30 degrees of the lunar node. _______ - for more information regarding rainfall prediction, see Appendix V: Mars influence on Rainfall in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran From an Islamic eschatological standpoint, the challenge for Islam would be to avoid us­ ing the Mars phenomenon in a systematic way as that would infer a breach of faith with Allah while inferring the acknowledgment of a belief in Dajjal. The easiest way to avoid the fitnah is to avoid this Mars phenomenon altogether by not researching, studying, or even looking into it as any prolonged inquiry could easily cause one to believe in its power. 571 Appendix V: Mars influence on Rainfall in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and I ran I n Chapter 29, a small sample of astrological charts were calculated using dates from a study that investigated precipitation events in the Middle East(mostly Egypt). I n 6 of the 9 charts, Mars was within 30 degrees of the lunar node. This next sample of astrological charts were calculated from dates in which heavy rainfall and flooding occurred in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and I ran. Mars within 30 degrees of the lunar node coincides with heavy rainfall events 42% of the time in this sample data, which contains 41 astrological charts, all calculated for the documented days in which heavy rainfall occurred. Slightly more significant was the alignment of the Moon and Mars. I n this sample, the Moon was within 30 degrees of the Mars in 45% of the charts listed. I n Chapter 29, it only came up in 35% of the charts. I n Chapters 24 and 52, its demonstrated how Mars can be used to predict rocket fire toward I srael. I n this Appendix V, more data is gathered here for figuring out a way to call down rain, and thus develop a more comprehensive predictive system for the Middle East. While Mars within 30 degrees of the lunar node allows us to presume that such an alignment might foresee a phase of higher precipitation relative to the mean, the transit of the moon in relation to Mars may at some point allow us to predict rain to the very day. Nonetheless, Mars within 30 degrees of the lunar node is significant enough to warn farmers that seeds planted during that time could be at higher risk for rotting. I n overly wet soil, the seeds tend to rot before germinating. Therefore one can formulate another hypothesis: Farmers in Greater Khorasan and the Middle East can set planting operations based on the position of the planet Mars. An efficient system of timing farm operations in the Middle East could alter the economic situation. An adequate predictive system would help alleviate the drawbacks associated with the destruction of crops during times of heavy rainfall. See the next page for the dates of heavy rainfall and the astrological chart. The datas starts from 2009.

Moon Mars I n 42% of the charts listed in this data sample, Mars was within 30 degrees of the lunar node. I n 44% of the charts listed for days when heavy rainfall occurred, Mars was within 30 degrees of the moon. Devising an efficient system of planting crops can simply entail the planting of crops immediately after Mars finishes its transit within 30 degrees of the lunar node. This will, in effect, allow the next phase of Mars going to within 30 degrees of the lunar node to be beneficial to the crops. Assuming this Mars transit coincides with a higher rainfall, starting the planting of crops at the beginning of such a transit would put the seeds at risk of being drowned out. Based on the data regarding the Moon within 30 degrees of the Mars, we can appl y contingencies that would have us resol ve never to water plants on those days. I f we go back to the data and apply Moon within 30 degrees of Mars and Moon within 30 degrees of the lunar node as our only posited factors for rainfall, we find that in all the days of rainfall listed, both of those aspects arose 60 percent of the time(24 of 41 days). Therefore we can devise a schedule of plant watering based on those factors. We can simply apply a policy that recommends for the watering of crops to be done when the moon is NOT within either 30 degrees of Mars or the lunar nodes. On the next pages I have the dates of every day it rained in Mashhad, I ran from 2009 - late 2020. There are 344 days in total that it rained in Mashhad, I ran since September 2009.

I n all 344 days of rain/ snow in Mashhad, I ran from September 2009 to November 2020, 200 of them were on days when the Moon was within either 30 degrees of the lunar node or 30 degrees of Mars. I n 119 of those days, Mars was within 30 degrees of the lunar node(the red/ shaded dot indicates the days when that aspect occurred). Of those 119 days, the Moon was within either 30 degrees of Mars or within 30 degrees of the lunar node on 42 of them(around 35% of the time). I f we do the math, we figure out that Mars was not within 30 degrees of the lunar node in 225 of those 344 days. And of all 225 of those days, the Moon was either within 30 degrees of Mars or within 30 degrees of the lunar node on 157 of them(or 70% of the time). Therefore we can presume that crops should not be watered when the Moon is within either 30 degrees of Mars or 30 degrees of the lunar node I F Mars itself is NOT within 30 degrees of the lunar node. We are simply presuming that there is a higher probability of rain taking place when the Moon is within either 30 degrees of Mars or 30 degrees of the lunar node when Mars is at the same time not within 30 degrees of the lunar node. When Mars I S within 30 degrees of the lunar node, crops can be watered on days when the Moon is within either 30 degrees of Mars or 30 degrees of the lunar node. We presume in this case that when Mars is within 30 degrees of the lunar node, there is a higher probability of rain taking place when the moon is simultaneously outside of the range within 30 degrees of Mars and outside of the range within 30 degrees of the lunar node. On the next page is a rain prediction schedule based on this data. 194 Appendix V: Mars influence on Rainfall in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran Precipitation expected in Mashhad, Iran within each of the time periods listed. Since precipitation is predicted, no watering of crops should take place within any of those timeframes.

This would help yield a cropping system that could make use of the soil in the most efficient way. 196
