Al-Fâtiha - The Opening
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Praise be to God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the world;
Most Gracious, Most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgment.
Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek.
Show us the straight way,
The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace,
those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.
-The Holy Quran
-translation by Abdullah Yusuf Ali
I am delighted to create this blog on the day Barack Hussain Obama is sworn-in as the first African American President of the United States of America. This new president inspires and motivates the people, young and old, all across the nation and the world. President Obama is the ultimate epitome of hope, change, responsiblity and peace, and the Muslims of the world will help this president to achieve his goal.
“To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict or blame their society's ills on the West, know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history, but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.”
Inaugural Address of Barack Hussain Obama, 20th January,2009.
In my dream last night, I saw myself at a private luncheon with the Obamas at the White House. We were eating, laughing, and the girls were just fun….I woke up smiling in the morning. I guess it simply makes me happy to see president obama as the head of the most powerful country in the world. It makes me want to believe that finally all will be OK. The wars will end, and we will have amicable solutions to all the feuds and disputes in the world. President Obama, I know, is in charge, knows what he is doing, and is a true leader. The tone he set yesterday at the inauguration was of a friend-a trustworthy friend.
ReplyDeleteBelieve me when I saw the plane crashin the Hudson River I was terrified at first, but I was so happy that no body died. I do not care if they were Hindus, Christians, Jew or Muslim, I was just happy that people were saved, nobody died. Being human is important, if even one life is saved that feels as if we have done something so big for the humanity. Not that we only love Muslim, we love all the people of the world, can you see your own child bleeding to death, no you can't, therefore we cant see any child or any human being die such miserable death. Hence, we should strive to stop the blood bath around the world.
