Delinquent Ox
One day an ox entered Mullah Nasruddin's vegetable garden and caused considerable amount of damage.
When Mullah Nasruddin came by and saw what the ox had done, he grabbed a stick and wanted to beat him but the animal escaped just in time to save his skin.
When Mullah Nasruddin came by and saw what the ox had done, he grabbed a stick and wanted to beat him but the animal escaped just in time to save his skin.
A few days later in the market place, Mullah Nasruddin recognized the guilty party harnessed to a cart.
'The other day you ran away from my vegetable garden,' he said, 'but now you are cornered, you can't break free.' and started to beat the poor, ignorant creature.
At that time the owner of the ox came running.
'Mullah! What are you doing?' he screamed, `Why are you beating my ox, whatever did the innocent animal do to you?'
'Don't you worry,' Mullah Nasruddin replied, 'he knows very well what he has done!'

The Holy Man's Advice
'Mullah, you are supposed to be a man of religion.
But you never talk about the verses of Quran, you never mention hadiths, you never participate in discussions of the Islamic faith.
What kind of a Mullah are you?'

Dhikr - RECUERDO DE DIOS
__________________________Dhikr - RECUERDO DE DIOS
El recuerdo de Dios (dhikr) es el medio por el cual las estaciones dan su fruto, hasta que el buscador llega a la Divina Presencia. En el viaje a la Divina Presencia, la semilla del recuerdo se siembra en el corazon y se alimenta con el agua de la alabanza y el alimento de la glorificacion hasta que el arbol del dhikr comienza a enraizarse profundamente y a dar frutos. Es el poder de todo viaje y el fundamento de todo exito. Es el revivificador que nos despierta del sueno de la desatencion, es el puente al Recordado.
Los shaykhs bregan por recordar a su Senor en cada aliento, asi como los angeles estan siempre en el estado de dhikr, alabando a Dios. Uno de nuestros shaykhs dijo, "Te recorde porque por un momento te habia olvidado, y la forma mas facil para recordarte es con mi palabra". Si el discipulo menciona a su Senor en cada momento, encontrara paz y satisfaccion en su corazon, elevara su espiritu y su alma y llegara a sentarse en Presencia de su Senor. El Profeta (SAW) dijo en una autentica Tradicion mencionada en el "Musnad" de Ahmad, "La gente del dhikr es la gente de Mi Presencia" El gnostico es el que mantiene el dhikr en su corazon y deja atras los vinculos mundanales.
MENCION DEL DHIKR EN EL CORAN
El dhikr es mencionado en varias partes del Sagrado Coran. En la mayoria de los versiculos el significado de la palabra dhikr es glorificar , exaltar, y alabar a Dios y saludar al Profeta (SAW).
Dios dijo, " Recuerdame y yo te recordare" (2:152). Tambien dijo, "...Y recuerda a tu Senor mucho y glorificale al anochecer y al alba" (3:41). Y una vez mas " Aquellos que recuerdan a Dios de pie sentados o recostados..." (3:191). El dijo, " Quienes crean, aquellos cuyos corazones se tranquilicen con el recuerdo de Dios - pues ciertamente en el recuerdo de Dios los corazones se tranquilizan -"(13:28). Y "...Y hombres que recuerdan mucho a Dios y mujeres que lo recuerdan..."(33:35). " Creyentes!. Recordad mucho a Dios!. Glorificadle manana y tarde!." (33:41-42).
Existen muchisimos otros versiculos del Coran mencionando dhikr. El Imam Nawawi dijo,
"Todos los eruditos del Islam han acordado en la aceptacion y permisibilidad del dhikr de corazon y de palabra, para el hombre y la mujer adultos, para los ninos, para el que tenga la ablucion y el que no tenga la ablucion y hasta para la mujer durante su menstruacion. Asi mismo, el dhikr es permitido por todos los eruditos como forma de glorificar, exaltar, alabar y saludar al Profeta (SAW).6
El dhikr pule el corazon y es la fuente del aliento Divino que reaviva los espiritus muertos llenandolos con las bendiciones de Dios, decorandolos con Sus Atributos y trayendolos desde el estado de desatencion al estado del completo despertar. Si nos mantenemos ocupados con el recuerdo de Dios se nos otorgara la felicidad y la paz. El dhikr es la llave de la felicidad , la llave de la alegria y la llave del Amor Divino.
MENCION DEL DHIKR EN LA SUNNAH
Segun Bukhari, Abu Musa al-Ashari (R) relato que el Profeta (SAW) dijo," La diferencia entre el que recita dhikr y el que no recita dhikr es como la diferencia que existe entre el que esta vivo y el que esta muerto.". Tirmidhi narro del relato de Anas (R) que el Profeta (SAW) dijo, " Si pasas por los jardines del paraiso, permanece alli." Y ellos preguntaron. "Oh Mensajero de Dios, que son los jardines del paraiso?" Y el dijo, " Los grupos que recitan el dhikr!.
En su libro Bukhari narro de Abu Hurayarah que el Profeta (SAW) dijo,
Dios Todopoderoso y Exaltado , tiene angeles que buscan a la gente del dhikr.Si encuentran a la gente del dhikr, los rodean hasta que llegan hasta el primer cielo. Y Dios le pregunta a Sus angeles, 'Que estan haciendo Mis siervos?' Los angeles dicen, ' Oh Dios, ellos te estan alabando y glorificando y estan recitando dhikr'. Dios dice 'Acaso Me vieron?.' Los angeles le responden, 'No, no te han visto'. Entonces Dios pregunta, 'Como seria si me hubiesen visto?'.Y los angeles responden, 'Oh Dios, si te hubiesen visto hubiesen ofrecido mas alabanza, mas glorificacion y mas recuerdo de Ti'. Y Dios pregunta, 'Que piden?.' Y los angeles dicen, ' Piden Tu paraiso'. Y Dios pregunta, 'Acaso vieron Mi paraiso '. Los angeles responden, 'No Senor nuestro'. Dios continua , 'Como seria si hubiesen visto Mi paraiso'. Los angeles responden, ' Hubiesen estado mas atraidos y mas ansiosos de llegar a el'. Y entonces Dios les pregunta, 'Que temen?'. Y los angeles dicen, 'Temen el infierno ', y Dios pregunta, ' Como seria si hubiesen visto mi infierno?', y ellos responden, ' Con mas razon huirian de el y pedirian proteccion de el'. Luego Dios dice, ' Todos ustedes son testigos que les perdono todos sus pecados '. Y luego un angel pregunta 'Oh Senor Nuesto hay entre esta gente uno que no pertenece al grupo. Solo vino para pedir algo de uno de ellos '. Dios dice, ' Estos son mis amados que me estan recordando. Cualquiera que entre a su circulo sera perdonado.'
Bukhari y Muslim narran de Abu Hurayrah que el Profeta (SAW) dijo,
Asi como Mi siervo piensa de Mi, Yo sere para el. Estoy con el si el Me recuerda. Si Me llama en su interior, yo lo llamo en Mi interior. Y si Me nombra en una congregacion, Yo lo nombro a el en una congregacion aun mas elevada en Mi Presencia. Y si el se acerca a Mi una mano de distancia, Yo me acerco a el un brazo de distancia; si el se acerca a Mi un brazo de distancia, Yo me acerco a el un metro de distancia; si viene hacia Mi caminando, Yo voy hacia el corriendo.7
Tirmidhi y Ibn Majah narraron sobre la autoridad de Abi Darda (R) que el Profeta (SAW) dijo, "Quereis que os cuente sobre vuestras mejores obras - la mas honrada y alabada y santificada por vuertro Senor y la mas alta en su recompensa - mejor que gastar oro, mejor que enfrentar vuestro enemigo y combatirlo?". Ellos dijeron, "Si , Oh Mensajero de Dios". Y El dijo," Dhikr Allah " (el recuerdo de Dios). El Profeta (SAW) dijo, " Todo tiene su pulido y la forma de pulir los corazones es el dhikr Allah". Muadh bin Jabal (R) dijo, " Nada te salva del castigo de Dios excepto dhikr Allah".
Existen muchisimas otras Tradiciones sobre los beneficios y las bendiciones del dhikr; tantas que es imposible citarlas a todas aqui.
DE LOS DICHOS DE IMAMES Y ERUDITOS SOBRE DHIKR
Ibn Abbasr dijo, "Dios Todopoderoso y Exaltado puso un limite sobre todas las obligaciones que les ordeno a todos los seres humanos excepto para el dhikr. Para ello no hay limite."
Ibn Qayyin al- Jawziyya dijo,
No hay duda que el corazon se oxida, asi como se oxidan el cobre y la plata. Su pulido es el dhikr que lo deja como un espejo blanco. El oxido sobre el corazon es debido al pecado y la desatencion. El pulido se realiza a traves de dos acciones: el arrepentimiento y el dhikr. Si alguien tiene el corazon nublado, las imagenes se reflejaran de manera no clara Vera lo falsedad como verdad y la verdad como falsedad. Cuando hay demasiado oxido en el corazon, el corazon se oscurece y en la oscuridad las imagenes de verdad y realidad nunca aparecen. La mejor forma de pulirlo es a traves de dhikr Allah.
Ibn Ata Allah dijo,
Por medio del dhikr dejas atras la desatencion y el olvido. Mantenes vuestro corazon presente con Dios, Todopoderoso y Exaltado. La mejor forma de acercarse a Su Presencia es recitando el nombre "Allah" en el corazon o en la lengua o recitando cualquiera de Sus Nombres.8
Abul Qasim al- Qushayri dijo, " Dhikr es el mas fuerte apoyo en el camino de Allah Todopoderoso y Exaltado. Nadie llega a la Divina Presencia si no es a traves de la continuada recitacion del dhikr."9
Mulay al-Arabi ad-Darqawi dijo, " No digas, ' No soy nada'. Tampoco digas, ' Soy algo'. No digas 'Necesito tal o cual cosa', ni tampoco digas, ' No necesito nada'. Mas bien di "Allah" y vereis maravillas."10
Vemos por lo que fue mencionado que todos los guias y los shayks perfectos aconsejaron al buscador en el Camino de Dios que recitara dhikr continuamente en todos los estados de su vida y acompanara a los grupos que practican el agradecimiento. Vemos que el Sagrado Coran, la Sunnah del Profeta (SAW) y los eruditos estan todos de acuerdo al respecto.
LOS TIPOS DE DHIKR
Dhikr puede realizarse silenciosamente o en voz alta. El Profeta (SAW) alentaba a la gente a que practicara ambos tipos. Entre los eruditos de la Ley Divina y los shaykhs Sufies algunos prefirieron el dhikr en voz alta y otros prefirieron el dhirk silencioso.
DHIKR EN VOZ ALTA
Bukhari narro que Abu Hurayrah (R) relato que el Profeta dijo(SAW), " Dios dijo, 'Si Mi siervo Me menciona interiormente, Yo lo menciono interiormente. Y si Me menciona en un grupo, Yo lo mencionare en un grupo en Mi Presencia."' Entendemos por esta Tradicion que mencionar a Dios en un grupo indica dhikr en voz alta. Algunos eruditos determinaron por esto, que realizar el dhikr en voz alta esta permitido. Bukhari narro que Ibn Abbas(R) dijo, " En los tiempos del Profeta (SAW) la gente solia levantar la voz en dhikr".
Bukhari tambien narro Abu Mabad (R) , el esclavo liberado de Ibn Abbas (R) dijo,
Ibn Abbas me dijo, "En la vida del Profeta (SAW) era costumbre celebrar las alabnazas de Dios en voz alta luego de las oraciones grupales obligatorias. Cuando escuchaba el dhikr , yo sabia que la oracion habia finalizado".
Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud y Tirmidhi relataron que as-Saib narro que el Profeta (SAW) dijo, "Grabriel (SAW) vino a mi y me ordeno que ordenara a mis Companeros que levantaran sus voces en takbir ( Allahu Akbar- Dios es el mas grande )."
Narraron Muslim y Bukhari y fue mencionado por Jalaluddin as-Suyuti, de otras colecciones, que Ali ibn Abi-Talib (A) dijo,
"Una vez pregunte al Profeta (SAW),' Oh Mensajero de Dios guiame hacia el camino mas corto hacia la Presencia de Dios, la forma mas facil de alabanza y la mejor forma para Dios Todopoderoso y Exaltado'.El Profeta (SAW) dijo, 'Oh Ali, debes estar continuamente recitando dhikr Allah, silenciosamente y en voz alta'.Yo respondi, 'Oh Profeta, todos los seres humanos recitan dhikr. Dame algo especial". Y el Profeta (SAW) dijo, ' Oh Ali, lo mejor de los que yo y todos los profetas antes de mi dijeron es "La Ilaha Ill-Allah" . Si todos los cielos y la tierra se pusiesen en un lado de la balanza y "La Ilaha Ill-Allah" se pusiese en el otro, "La Ilaha Ill-Allah" tendria mas peso. El Dia del Juicio no vendra siempre que haya gente en este mundo diciendo "La Ilaha Ill-Allah". Y luego pregunte, 'Como debo recitar?'. El Profeta (SAW), 'Cierra los ojos y escuchame recitando "La Ilaha Ill-Allah" tres veces. Luego tu dilo tres veces y yo te escuchare'. Luego el Profeta (SAW) lo dijo y yo lo repeti en voz alta".
En esta narracion de Imam Ahmad y Tabarani esta Tradicion continua describiendo como el Profeta (SAW) enseno dhikr a sus companeros.
Ibada bin Samit (R) dijo que el Profeta (SAW) dijo, "Hay algun extrano entre ustedes?" Y nosotros dijimos ,"No Mensajero de Dios". El dijo," Cierren la puerta". Luego dijo, "Levanten la mano y repitan despues de mi " La Illaha Ill-Allah".Nosotros alzamos la mano y dijimos " La Illaha Ill-Allah". Entonces el Profeta (SAW) dijo, " Alabado sea Dios que me envio a este mundo y con estas palabras, El me lo ordeno, El me prometio el paraiso a traves de ello, y El nunca cambia Su Promesa". Entonces el Profeta (SAW) dijo, "Alegrense , Dios les ha perdonado". 11
Jalaluddin as- Suyuti menciono los beneficios del dhikr en voz alta en un articulo llamado "Natijat al-fikr fi jahr adh-dhikr". El cita 25 autenticas Tradiciones que mencionan el dhikr en voz alta .
DHIKR SILENCIOSO
Dios menciono " Recuerda a tu Senor en tu interior, humilde y temerosamente, silenciosamente, manana y tarde, que no seas de los despreocupados" (7:205)
El Imam Ahmad narro que Abu Hurayrah (R) relato que el Profeta (SAW) dijo que Dios dice, "Estoy con Mi siervo cuando el me recuerda y al recordarme sus labios se mueven".Comentando esta Tradicion, el Imam Nawawi dijo, " Dios esta con el que lo recuerda y lo llama en su corazon, y lo llama con su voz. Pero debemos recordar que el dhikr del corazon es el mas perfecto. El que recuerda, recita el dhikr con la voz para reflejar el dhikr en su corazon. Cuando el amor a Dios y Su recuerdo rebasa el corazon y el espiritu, resuena la voz y el buscador es acercado."
Shaykh Amin al-Qurdi dijo en "Talwir al-Qulub",
"El dhikr en voz alta que combina los sonidos y las letras no es facil de realizar en todo momento, ya que comprar y vender y tales actividades desvian la atencion del dhikr. Al contrario el dhikr del corazon recibe su nombre para reflejar su libertad de las letras y los sonidos. De esa manera nada le distrae de su dhikr, como dice el poeta:
Con el corazon recuerda a Dios secretamente desde la creacion sin palabras y sin sonidos. Ese recuerdo es el mejor de todos: de alli surgieron los dichos de los santos.
Es por ello que nuestros maestros Naqshbandi eligieron el dhikr del corazon. Ademas el corazon es el lugar donde el indulgente deja su mirada, asiento de la fe, recipiente de secertos y fuentes de luces. Si su estado es bueno el estado de todo el cuerpo es bueno. Si su estado no es bueno y estado de todo el cuerpo no es bueno, como lo expreso claramente nuestro elegido Profeta (SAW).
Una Tadicion que confirma esto fue narrada baja la autoridad de Aisha (R), "Dios favorece dhikr sobre dhikr 70 veces ( significa prefiere el dhikr silencioso sobre el dhikr en voz alta). En el Dia de la Resurreccion Dios traera a los humanos a rendir cuentas, y los angeles presentaran lo que grabaron y escribieron. Dios Todopoderoso dira, 'Vean si algo de lo que pertenece a Mi siervo fue dejado de lado'. Los angeles diran, ' Nada dejamos de lado concerniente a lo que sabemos y recordamos, sin que lo hubiesemos escrito'. Dios dira, ' Oh Mi siervo, tengo algo bueno tuyo por lo cual Yo solo te premiare. Es vuestro oculto recuerdo de Mi.' Ademas sobre la autoridad de Aisha(R), 'El dhikr no escuchado por los angeles equivale 70 veces al que escuchan' , asi lo narra Bayhaqi.12
LOS ESTADOS DE DHIKR Y SU CUMPLIMIENTO
Segun entiende la gente del Sufismo, el dhikr es esencial porque es el medio primordial para transladar al buscador a la Presecia de Dios. Es de tres grados que reflejan los estados del viaje a la Divina Presencia.
1) El dhikr de la gente comun en voz alta.
2) El dhikr de la gente especial con el corazon.
3) El dhikr de los elegidos entre los especiales por su aniquilamiento en su dhikr, cuando ellos ven al que recuerdan y son aniquilados en Su Presencia
El Imam Ghazzali dijo, " Debes saber que Dios quito todos los velos de ignorancia y tajo a muchos al estado de vision a traves de su continuo dhikr. El primer estado de dhikr es el dhikr en voz alta, luego viene el dhikr del corazon, luego la aparicion de la Divina Presencia en el recitador de dhikr, haciendo que el ya no necesite hacer el dhikr".13
Shaykh Al- Munawi dijo, " Para el buscador en el Camino de Dios, lo que mas lo beneficia es dhikr con el nombre, Allah, a traves del cual llegara a saborear y ver el Amor de la Divina Presencia ".14
El Imam Junayd dijo, " Aquel que recite dhikr con el nombre que todo lo abarca, Allah, es aquel que se dejo atras a si mismo, conectandose a su Senor, existiendo en Su Presencia, donde la luz de Dios ha consumido su cuerpo fisico."15
Por lo tanto es la practica de los granshaykhs de la Orden Naqshbandi iniciar a sus discipulos en el dhikr con el unico nombre que abarca todos los atributos, Allah, y por la negacion y afirmacion contenidas en las palabras sagradas "La Illaha Ill-Allah". A traves de estas dos formas ellos podran llegar al estado de excelencia, mencionados por el Profeta (SAW) en la Tradicion narrada por Bukhari y Muslim, " La excelencia es alabar a Dios como si le vieras."
Ibn Qayyimal-Jawziyia dijo, " Si una persona quiere ser guiada, debe buscar a una persona de la gente del dhikr. Si el encuentra a uno que es de la gente del dhikr, que mantiene el dhikr continuamente, que sigue la Sunnah del Profeta (SAW) debe mantenerse apegado a el."16
Ibn Hajar al-Haythami dijo, " El buscador en las primeras etapas antes de llegar al estado de conocimiento, debe obedecer las ordenes de su shaykh, que lleva ambas clases de conocimiento- conocimiento Divino y conocimiento de la Ley Divina- ya que el es el gran medico que ha saboreado todo el conocimiento celestial manteniendo el dhikr en su corazon."

Getting into Trade
Nasreddin Hodja decided to get into the business world. He bought eggs for 5 para apiece, he dyed them into bright colours, and sold them at the Aksehir market place for 3 para apiece. A friend of the Hodja noticed that something was amiss about this setup.
`Hodja Effendi, you pay 5 para for each egg, right?'
`Right.'
`After you dye them, you sell them for 3 para each. What kind of a bargain is this?'
The Hodja realized that he had blundered, but he didn't want to admit his mistake.
`My dear fellow,' he said, `I am profiting from the dye!'

Naive Students
Mullah Nasruddin had students from out of town.
During the day he instructed them at the Madrasa and at night he and his wife accommodated them in their own home.
One evening, Mullah and his young students were returning back from a long day's study at the Madrasa.
On their way home, they saw a couple of thieves in front of a shop. One of the men was filing the lock on the door with a rasp and the other one was watching him. The students, not realizing that the two men were intending to rob the store, asked Mullah Nasruddin what they were doing. Mullah Nasruddin was in no mood to get involved with two burly robbers, but at the same time, he didn't want his students to think that he was witnessing a crime without doing anything about it. So, he decided to lie about what was going on.

With every breath I take, every beating of my heart
In word and silence let there be peace upon you.
Oh fountain of perfection, oh ocean of peace
Oh healer of broken hearts, how much longer shall we be apart?
With every step I take towards your resting place
Heart filled with restlessness, my eyes full of tears
If my soul could take flight, carry me through this night
I would travel to Madina to stand, eyes downcast, before you
Like the sun you rose over us, bringing light to our darkened world
Purified by your wisdom, sanctified by your love
And we follow in your way, along the path that you have made
Let us reach our goal at last – take our hands, lead our hearts
Allah̢۪s peace on you Ya Nabi, in every eye-blink and every tear
From the dawn of creation till the last day shall come
When the faithful remember you, when the heedless forget
May you rest in the mercy and the peace of the Almighty.
Oh beloved of the Lord, hear my greeting, hear my call
Bless this seeker of your love with the vision of you.

The Ox and the Pot
An ox was trying to drink the water left at the bottom of a pot.
He pushed his head a little too far in and he got stuck.
The poor thing started to struggle desperately to free himself off the pot but he was not able to pull his head out.
The owner of the ox was panicked and all the neighbours came to help.
Some pulled the pot, some pulled the ox. No use.
Mullah Nasruddin happened to be passing by.
When he saw all the people unsuccessfully trying to get the head of the ox out of a pot, he offered his help.

`Bring me an axe!' he said, confidently. When the axe arrived, he chopped the head off the unfortunate animal.
After this, he realized that the head was still in the crock. He swung the axe once more and broke the pot. This freed the severed head.

Laundry Day
Every time the Mullah Nasruddin's wife started to tackle the laundry, the weather took a turn for the worse.
The rain made the trips to the stream impossible, or if it started later on in the day, ruined the newly washed clothes hung out to dry in the yard.
Mullah Nasruddin and his wife could never catch a nice sunny day to carry the water, do the washing in the garden and lay the clothes out to dry.
Finally Mullah Nasruddin had an idea.
The rain made the trips to the stream impossible, or if it started later on in the day, ruined the newly washed clothes hung out to dry in the yard.
Mullah Nasruddin and his wife could never catch a nice sunny day to carry the water, do the washing in the garden and lay the clothes out to dry.
Finally Mullah Nasruddin had an idea.
'Well, when the weather is nice, you inform me that you plan to do a wash by sign language. Then I inconspicuously go to the grocer and buy the soap and the clay. We do not talk about doing the laundry at all.'
Some time later, on a sunny day, the Mullah's wife informed him by gestures that she needed to do the laundry.
Mullah Nasruddin went and purchased the necessary materials without saying a word to the grocer about the laundry.
But as soon as he left the store, he heard a loud thunder.
'No need to make a row,' he said heavenwards, 'it's not like we are going to do the laundry or anything.'

Allahu - Talib Al Habib
Allahu
Allahu Allahu
Allahu Allahu
Oh Allah! Who can know of Your glory and might?
You turn night into day, You turn day into night
Every motion and rest, every silence and word
Is encompassed by You, is through Your power alone.
Oh my Lord who exists beyond beginnings or ends
On Your Will and Your Power all existence depends.
Space and time You transcend, You are true Unity
You are greater than all mortal minds can conceive.
Ya Allah, Ya Rahman, Ya Allah, Ya Rahim,
Ya Allah, Ya Karim, Ya Allah
Every atom and seed, every mountain and tree
All that dwells in the sky, and the earth and the sea
Every star in the heavens, the sun and the moon
Without rest, without pause, we all glorify You
Oh Lord of the Worlds full of mercy and grace
Make me one of those who will see Your Blessed Face
Purify me and guide me, make me pleasing to You
Let me live, let me die in remembrance of You.
There follows a recitation of selected verses from the Jawhara
at-Tauhid (lines: 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 31 & 8) which detail
the 20 logically necessary attributes of Allah: existence,
begininglessness, endlessness, self-subsistence, unity, ,
transcendence, power, will, knowledge, life, sight, audition,
speech; and His being in actuality powerful, willing,
knowing, living, seeing, hearing and speaking.

Malcolm X - Letter from Hajj
Letter from Mecca
Malcolm X
April, 1964
Malcolm X
April, 1964
The Ka'ba, in Mecca -- the ancient House of Worship built by Abraham and Ishmael. |
Never have I witnessed such sincere hospitality and overwhelming spirit of true brotherhood as is practiced by people of all colors and races here in this Ancient Holy Land, the home of Abraham, Muhammad and all the other Prophets of the Holy Scriptures. For the past week, I have been utterly speechless and spellbound by the graciousness I see displayed all around me by people of all colors.
I have been blessed to visit the Holy City of Mecca. I have made my seven circuits around the Ka'ba, led by a young Mutawaf named Muhammad. I drank water from the well of the Zam Zam. I ran seven times back and forth between the hills of Mt. Al-Safa and Al-Marwah. I have prayed in the ancient city of Mina, and I have prayed on Mt. Arafat.
There were tens of thousands of pilgrims, from all over the world. They were of all colors, from blue-eyed blonds to black-skinned Africans. But we were all participating in the same ritual, displaying a spirit of unity and brotherhood that my experiences in America had led me to believe never could exist between the white and non-white.
America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem. Throughout my travels in the Muslim world, I have met, talked to, and even eaten with people who in America would have been considered 'white'--but the 'white' attitude was removed from their minds by the religion of Islam. I have never before seen sincere and true brotherhood practiced by all colors together, irrespective of their color.
You may be shocked by these words coming from me. But on this pilgrimage, what I have seen, and experienced, has forced me to re-arrange much of my thought-patterns previously held, and to toss aside some of my previous conclusions. This was not too difficult for me. Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds it. I have always kept an open mind, which is necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth.
During the past eleven days here in the Muslim world, I have eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass, and slept in the same bed (or on the same rug)--while praying to the same God--with fellow Muslims, whose eyes were the bluest of blue, whose hair was the blondest of blond, and whose skin was the whitest of white. And in the words and in the actions in the deeds of the 'white' Muslims, I felt the same sincerity that I felt among the black African Muslims of Nigeria, Sudan, and Ghana.
We were truly all the same (brothers)--because their belief in one God had removed the white from their minds, the white from their behavior, and the white from their attitude.
I could see from this, that perhaps if white Americans could accept the Oneness of God, then perhaps, too, they could accept in reality the Oneness of Man--and cease to measure, and hinder, and harm others in terms of their 'differences' in color.
With racism plaguing America like an incurable cancer, the so-called 'Christian' white American heart should be more receptive to a proven solution to such a destructive problem. Perhaps it could be in time to save America from imminent disaster--the same destruction brought upon Germany by racism that eventually destroyed the Germans themselves.
Each hour here in the Holy Land enables me to have greater spiritual insights into what is happening in America between black and white. The American Negro never can be blamed for his racial animosities--he is only reacting to four hundred years of the conscious racism of the American whites. But as racism leads America up the suicide path, I do believe, from the experiences that I have had with them, that the whites of the younger generation, in the colleges and universities, will see the handwriting on the walls and many of them will turn to the spiritual path of truth--the only way left to America to ward off the disaster that racism inevitably must lead to.
Never have I been so highly honored. Never have I been made to feel more humble and unworthy. Who would believe the blessings that have been heaped upon an American Negro? A few nights ago, a man who would be called in America a 'white' man, a United Nations diplomat, an ambassador, a companion of kings, gave me his hotel suite, his bed. ... Never would I have even thought of dreaming that I would ever be a recipient of such honors--honors that in America would be bestowed upon a King--not a Negro.
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all the Worlds.
Blessings of the day of Ashura - Imam Zaid Shakir
Imam Zaid shakir (teacher at the zaytuna college) talks briefly about the importance of Ashura, the 10th of the first month of the islamic calender, Muharram. He highlights the benefits of fasting on this day, as well as some of the lessons we are to learn from the heroism displayed in the battlefield of karbala, by the prince of the Ahle Bayt, Imam Hussein (may Allah be pleased with him and his noble family).
