In the name of Allah, the merciful, the peaceful
Glory be to you, Lord
Peace,
As I listened to the news on the radio hearing about the events that have been unfolding within the middle east and Africa I couldn’t help but feel saddened. Hear we are continuing to go around the same broken wheel. When are we going to learn that wars solve nothing? Wars can only create more hatred and more wars. Why do you think politicians love war? They love it because they are enemies of Peace, enemies of humanity and enemies of God. This is why we must stop looking for a political solution, a political savior; it’s never going to happen. We must join together as one community embracing each other regardless of differences in beliefs, color, and whatever else people use to divide. God has made us all in his image, and only he can judge us because it is from Him we come and to Him we return.
We of the Monotheistic faiths have a common thread that binds us together. That silver cord has a name and that name is the prophet Abraham. It is from his vision of God that all three were birthed and sprung up. He shaped our very course with a simple call of One Aim, One Love, One God, One Destiny, which has been repeated down the line from his time until now. What would Abraham say if he was to walk among us right now? Would he approve of his children by blood and by adoption fighting among themselves like rats? Do you think he would enjoy hearing his family slander one another? No, he would be mortified that the Unity he envisioned has caused so much pain and sorrow. We are to have no division among us. We are to settle our differences with kindness. We are to “Love our neighbors” because our neighbors are our family, our us, and our images of the one who created us. Who dares to kill the All Mighty? Only the fools among the foolish, yet it’s going on right now everywhere you turn. People are convinced that this is the way it must be brainwashed by the White Horse they joyfully bath with the Red Horse then they wonder why the Black Horse is all they ever get. Wake up! It’s time to go back to the original call of Abraham and all the other prophets and friends of God. Unity in Oness. One People, One God, One Destiny, that should be our mantra instead of this us against them, the it’s all about ME mentality that the devil whispers into our ears and we think of ourselves as righteous. Stop living on the lower end of life move yourself into the higher end, the higher self, heal the world instead of shrugging and wallowing in its wounds.
Many of us talk a good game about helping others but when you get down to it most of us do nothing about it. We are quick to condemn the world and point out all its flaws but we are slow in changing ourselves. Or we change ourselves and think that’s all you need to do and you do nothing to alleviate the wretchedness around you. Brothers and Sisters it time we stop waiting for someone else to come and save the day because that’s not going to happen. We must each put on the cloak of the teachings of our Lord and live out true submission, which is Peace. Lets stop saying when the prophet Jesus or the Mahdi or whomever comes then things will be good. If you’re doing that then you are missing the point. Jesus said: “What I have done you can do greater” this is him telling us to pick up where he left off, that was his way of saying pick up the mantle march to the way of Love, Truth, Peace, Equality and Justice. Take a stand and move forward. This is what the prophet Muhammad did, this is what Marcus Garvey did, Druze Ali did, and many others did. So why are we not doing this? Why are we not pushing the world towards the Garden, Towards Zion, Towards Nirvana, towards a better day for our children and future generations? The answer is simple we digressed, we allowed politics into our lives, into our minds and instead of being Holy which means to separate we became of the world. We have allowed pollution into our food, into our lungs, into every aspect of our very existence. Snap out of it! We have too little time to waste. Become the solution not the problem.
In the beginning: All people were of one Community it was only later that division came. Let us remember this and try to get back to this so that this current cycle of Death may end and be replaced by Life.
Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
