If I could reach out to all the people in this
world, I'd want to show them the true meaning of life, I’d teach them how to
respect each other and how to stand side by side shoulder to shoulder, the way
its performed in prayer.
I don’t think I could reach out to all the people
in the world but I know that if only one person gets my message I’d be grateful
because he or she may pass it on.
There are many questions in my mind, and so I’ll
ask these questions as I go along, I hope someone could answer them, if they
aren’t asking the same questions, my first questions is why is it that we fight
against each other on the streets as though we aren’t from the same
blood? Why aren’t we taught about our religion, yes religion! Why is it
that when someone says the word religion a person exploding themselves comes to
mind? Why, why is it that long ago religion used to be the guidance of the
peoples lives, and now people seem to run away and walk towards nothing! They
pay more attention to cars and clothes, and who’s wearing which brand, and the
most respected person is the one who’s wearing the most expensive clothes from
top to bottom, what happened to this world? What happened to the times when men
looked down in the presence of a woman? What happened to the times when men
would plan to meet in a certain mosque to pray as a jama3a (group) rather than
some café to smoke? What happened to the days when a man’s jewel was his wife
and only his wife? What happened to the days when woman would show respect in
the presence of a man rather than trying to get their attention? What’s
happening to us? Aren’t we all the daughters and sons of Adam? Doesn’t that
make us family?
We still have time. Time to stop what we are doing
and drop our guns for the sake of that day the day when we will all be
questioned of what we’ve done in this dunya (life), tell me… what will you
say? Are you going to say I helped feed the needy? Or are you going to
say I brought an expensive car and so and so was jealous of me while I ignored
the little boy holding chewing gum begging me for 250 dinars near my
window?
