My Thoughts on Hajj
In the name of Allah the Most Great, the Most Forgiving and Wise.
Traditionally in the Islamic World Hajj is known as the Pilgrimage
we make to Mecca the Center of the Islamic Faith.
This moment I call you to make a sacred Pilgrimage to the Mecca,
Center(s) of Our lives, Ourselves, Our Families, Our Communities,
Our Nations and World.
Salam Alaikoam, Peace Be With You fellow traveller on the paths
life has presented us.
I am calling you on this sacred journey as it is time to bring heaven
just a little bit closer for all beings seen and unseen.
There are issues and challenges that need our attention and rather
than mourn what we do not have let us work with what we have and
build on it.
On this sacred journey you are also being called to recycle, replant,
restock, reforest and essentially bring deserts to life. We built
the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids and sent many missions to
space so let’s focus our energies on positive things and call
all People and Nations to cooperate.
If we are lucky nature will help us out.
The hand of God is as close as your own, see him in all things.
Lord have mercy on us and forgive our short-comings and guide us
well on this sacred journey. Let every Community and Nation set
excellent Community Support Groups and Agencies in place to assist
us in meeting our challenge and Sacred Journey with Grace and Dignity.
Amen
Peace
What does the Ummah of Islam need?
18 Rabi Al-Akhir 1426
Salamu alikum,
The Ummah of Islam encompasses all Mankind of all Religions, Races
and those somewhere in between and what the Ummah of Islam really
needs is this:
The Ummah of Islam and the World really needs people/humanity to
be empowered to be the best they can be.
The Ummah needs people to be educated and trained
in some profession so they may provide for themselves and their
families with dignity and respect.
The Ummah needs not just one person to lead but all
of us to lead by setting good examples and where we are having challenges
sort into groups sorted out, and learn better ways and skills in
meeting our challenges with respect and dignity for everyone.
The Ummah needs excellence in education, counselling,
consultation and medical care to assist people to rise to their
station as messengers with a good message of peace and prosperity
for all.
The Ummah needs people to stop looking for just one
person to arise and solve all of the challenges. Let's face it:
one person cannot do it all nor should they be expected to.
The Ummah needs governments and communities where
faith can be built within its community and nation that every or
at least nearly all challenges can be dealt with, with grace and
dignity.
The Ummah needs people to come together to address
issues of poverty, violence and ignorance and find common ground
from which to establish a firm foundation of guidance and knowledge
from which we can receive information, training, education and counselling.
The Ummah needs individuals to acknowledge to themselves
that they have erred in some things and sort into groups to find
solutions to the challenges we are faced with on a daily basis.
The Ummah needs hope and we are that hope, each and
everyone of us can be a bright light.
The Ummah has been working on many issues in many
nations already but now we need the people of the Ummah to come
together and see what they have done right and what they have done
wrong and be educated, counselled and consulted in how to change
bad habits or poor coping skills into more positive and productive
skills and behaviours.
The Ummah needs people also to have patience as the
Ummah is struggling to meet the billions of lives in their realms
and find the technology, education, counselling and consultation
personnel and agencies to meet the overwhelming needs of the populations.
The Ummah needs you to pass judgment on your life
and if you are having challenges that are difficult to deal with
turn to Community Infrastructures and agencies that can help meet
the demands of dealing with these challenges and provide you with
the training, education, counselling you need.
The Ummah needs your voice, if in your community there
is a lack of something like places to get affordable education then
write to your government or community officials and suggest they
get some assistance with creating these educational, counselling
and consultation institutions or schools or agencies so you can
receive the best of guidance to empower you to be a shining light
in the Ummah of Islam.
The Ummah has faith in you, do you have Faith in yourself?
May Allah, God, The Creator guide your steps well
so that you may have all the skills you need to meet all the challenges
you will have over your life time, Inshallah may it be so!
Salam
