One of our duties as Muslims, especially living in a non-Muslim
country, is to educate our neighbors and coworkers about Islam.
We are obligated to invite others to the True Religion and to
help them understand the peaceful nature of Islam. In times such
as these, when Islam is receiving negative representation in the
media and is often misunderstood, it is so important for us to
each do our part in shining the Light of Truth into the darkness
all around us.
After September 11, 2001, many local churches, schools, and organizations
contacted the Islamic Center of Greensboro to request members
of our Center to come and speak and explain Islam to them. We
had the opportunity to go into the community like never before,
bringing the Truth of Islam to so many.
Now that September 11 seems more in the past than in the present,
we do not receive so many invitations, and that is all the more
reason why each member of our Ummah should take it upon himself
or herself to demonstrate in all our words and actions, the Beauty,
Peacefulness, and Truth of Islam.
Remember that you are representing your people, your brothers
and sisters in Islam, and that whatever you say or do reflects
upon us all. May Allah (SWT) Reward you with the Best of Rewards. |
