:salam2:
one of the main reasons why i became a muslim several years ago, was due to the concept of brotherhood in islam. i was amazed to see blacks, whites, asians and arabs; united praying to the one true God. i had never seen this in any other faith in my life. as an american, i knew that blacks attended their churches and whites attended their churches. sunday morning in america is the most racially segregated day in america, since this country’s founding.
one of the key points for muslims giving dawah ( propagation ) to non-muslims, was the fact that islam is a religion or way of life for all mankind, a way of life that respects the human being.
i was also fascinated by the images of the annual pilgrimage to Makkah in Saudi Arabia. to see 2 million plus people praying to the same God, without any issue of race, class or education level.
all of these images of islamic brotherhood were and still are the most beautiful things that i have ever seen in my life. but there are images that i am seeing that are truly breaking my heart. what image? the image of seeing my fellow muslim brothers and sisters disunited and seeing other muslims die while we argue.
dear brothers and sisters in islam, let stand united and leave all the things that don’t matter in this life; behind us. and let’s defend our deen and restore the beauty that this way of life has to offer.
