A Magnificent Way

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

As-Salaam Alaikum:

I pray that my writing find in you (reader) the best that Allah (swt) has given to those gone ahead of us.

As I read these posts I have found myself thinking of an Islamic condition worst than this, I have not found any. Imam W.D. Mohammed has one family good, bad, or ugly. It is our duty to him, as our leader, to make good decisions in his absence. We must undertake the task at hand, as he maintained a relentless pursuit of peace and security for his entire family, including his followers, without harm to any.

Can this be done? Yes, absolutely with Shura, the most powerful method of consensus known to man, Al-Islam. Believe it or not, we are under the greatest test of our lifetime and for generations to come. There is a problem that has to be addressed, unlike a normal domestic or community situation but, one that require Muslims in America and the followers of Imam W.D. Mohammed scholarly approach in a magnificent way. We can and must solve this problem on our worldwide stage for all to see, that a great leader was amongst us, of knowledge and wisdom, and that we possess Islamic abilities that he injected into our minds, by Allah’s (swt) permission.

Upon us now, by Allah (swt) are wonderful opportunities and many more to come in that; we can now use the knowledge about Al-Islam to solve our community problems without the physical person in Imam W.D. Mohammed. We now stand before Allah (swt) as our sole Judge and Master. Allah (swt) sees all things and nothing goes on without His knowledge. Allah (swt) knows what is between our hearts and our brains and we must never forget that He is strict in JUDGEMENT.

Imam W.D. Mohammed, "Master of Sincerity".

As-Salaam Alaikum:

Imam Mohammed is now the embodiment of his own community; like Prophet Adam (saw) to Prophet Muhammed (saw) is his community. We are simply members of Imam W.D. Mohammed. He was and is relentless in his duty to Allah (swt). He never gave up or slowed in his hard work to help his people. He loved his community so much so that he left himself poor like his beloved Prophet Muhammed (saw). Imam Mohammed is our Master of Sincerity.

During this Ramadan’s Night of Power a DVD was played of Imam Mohammed’s last Ju’mah. One could easily see that Imam was tired and appeared to be ill. Never the less, he presented, as usual, a very impactive and dynamic expression of Al-Islam, as well as, his powerful insight as to Al-Qur’an. He also appeared as if though he would present his last message to his beloved brothers and sisters, an intense forceful message. After the showing Imam Sharif opened for questions and statements then, from seemingly the depths of one’s soul came a statement that was so revealing that it shocked the mind; we can only make “sajudu” to Allah (swt) and no (Adam) one else.

Imam’s compulsion is, we are part of that, “they bowed down, sajudu”. As Imam Mohammed stated, Adam represents our “original nature”, not the nature that we have grown to. Mankind has become far distanced from the original nature thereby, falling into a state of mind, forcing mankind to remember Adam by, “sajudu.”

One more point, imagine the difference between salat, several positions that makes up the ritual of prayer for Muslims and sajada, one individual prayer position. In each ritual our minds are trained on remembering inspired men and Allah (swt). We remember Bilal with the one finger, Prophet Ibrahim, and Prophet Muhammad. Now, thanks to Imam Mohammed we’ll remember Prophet Adam.

Imam Mohammed’s most excellent delivery, in our lifetime, gave to us a view of Allah’s power by showing how to take the word and make it flesh. How to take that beautiful ayat 34, Sura 2 (words) then, cause our mind to act it out in our flesh, making our mind and flesh join in “sajudu”.

Members of W.D. Mohammed must guard and protect his legacy as well as keep him in the right. We must forever remember that, Imam Mohammed left to us our inheritance, an inheritance, of great value; its ownership is in possession of his community. It would be wrong for us to squander our inheritance, take it to be of no value, doing and saying things about him that, we would never think of, if his eyes were on us.

In Service to Allah (swt)
