As Salaamu Ahlaykum wa Jumu’ah Mubarakah! Peace, love and may a treasure chest of good fortune come your way and enhance the life of you and yours; Happy Friday! It is only with “loyalty” that life achieves its destiny. That being “loyal” to all that makes life real and worth living. Loyalty’s secret is sincerity. Sincerity is that which makes what we have faith and believe in achieve it greatest traction. Being sincere is being committed. Being committed means we’re willing to put in the effort, to sacrifice and to go the distance it takes to achieve an objective. It is time to get serious. It’s never too late to take life seriously. Allah revealed; "Oh believers! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and those charged with authority among you. If you differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allah and The Messenger, if you do believe in Allah and the Last Day: That is best, and most suitable for final determination (4:59). If we have an issue with leadership or authority check your heart and ask yourself why. Ask yourself is it ego, is it personal or something without substance or merit? Sincerity is the right ingredient. Allah also revealed; "Say, if you do sincerely love Allah then follow me and Allah will in turn love you and forgive you. For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful" (3:31). Have a safe, an awesome and blessed day and days to come!

As Salaamu Ahlaykum wa Jumu'ah Mubarakah. Peace, love and all of what’s best in life be within your reach is what I hope for you and yours; Happy Friday! Perception and reality can appear to be the same but they're not. Color and race can lead to false perceptions of reality. Perhaps we can see color as change and race as speed or competition while going forward as in a race toward what's in the best interests of humanity, we could speedily change how we perceive others. Shoot for the stars and take a stab at making the world a better place for everyone. Although we are in reality actually one humanity/people our perception has been.......colored. Let's be the champions of positive change and the example of what's in our overall best interest as the “Human Race”. Allah revealed; "To you (Allah) sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety. So, judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that has come to you. To each among you have we prescribed a law and an open way. If Allah had so willed, Allah would have made you a single people, but (the plan is) to test you in what Allah has given you. So strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is Allah that will show you the truth of the matters in which you dispute (5:48). Have a safe, an awesome and blessed day and days to come!

As Salaamu Ahlaykum, Peace, love and going forward in touch with our humanity leads to the success I hope for you and yours; Happy Friday! The skies (heavens), the earth, and the world have a soul that looks for peace. The peace the soul of the heavens, the earth and world looks for is found in the light of those who are well meaning and their acceptance of, adherence to and following of what they know to be right and true. The light of the world grows dimmer the further we move away from truth and righteousness. The light of the heavens and the earth is what makes for the world of man that his or her soul verifies by way of truth and righteousness. All else leads to aggression and oppression. Let’s be the light of the world’s darkness and the instrument of moving each other towards that light. Allah revealed; "Allah is the Light of the skies (heavens) and the earth. Allah's light is like a niche in which there is a lamp, the lamp is in a crystal, the crystal is like a shining star, lit from ˹the oil of˺ a blessed olive tree, ˹located˺ neither to the east nor the west, whose oil would almost glow, even without being touched by fire. Light upon light! Allah guides to the light whoever Allah Wills. And Allah sets forth parables for humanity. For Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things" (24:35). Have a safe, an awesome, a blessed day and days to come!

A true servant of Allah (I mean the Almighty Creator of everything that exist in the universe and made it possible for man to borrow and utilize from what has been created and bring into existence other things that are to add to the improvement of and perpetuation of human life). Human is our first identity by default.

A true servant of Allah will build a longer table instead of a higher fence. A true servant of Allah would never oppress a person nor a people and would arbitrarily (meaning by default), seek ways or a way to establish and keep peace.

Due to this being the so-called modern era and its people, especially those in leadership role are alleged to be "enlightened", What's happening in parts of the world while we watch is worse than any time any country or people have been at war since the Crusades. Due to this alleged enlightenment what we are witnessing is worse. Perhaps modern man is not truly enlightened but yet an educated savage.

We can readily see that many people in leadership roles are not interested in serving Allah at all, meaning doing what is in the best interest of all people. Therefore, they do not deserve our respect, consideration nor support.

We cannot say we are against something that is an obvious atrocity and at the same time supply the means to assist in its being carried out. That is a two-faced double standard and the mark of a devil.

As Salaamu Ahlaykum wa Jumu’ah Mubarakah. Peace, love and living life in its fullest expression, beauty and potential is what I hope you can find beneficial to move you and yours to greater heights of success, Happy Friday! Time is our most elusive asset if we fail to use it wisely. This is our time. Let’s use it with wisdom and not waste its wealth. Time is meant to be reflected upon so as to benefit from what’s past. While much of the world is in commotion, we are to endeavor to express our humanity, help each other, exercise patience and seek life’s blessings. In doing so we reach a level of balance that eludes many in this modern era. Allah revealed in the Holy Qur'aan; "By Time (throughout its relentless presence and inability to possess), Verily Man is in loss (and will continue losing). Except such as have Faith, and do righteous deeds, and cooperate) in the mutual teaching of Truth, and of Patience and Constancy. Have a safe, an awesome and blessed day and days ahead.

As Salaamu Ahlaykum wa Jumu'ah Mubarakah! Peace, love and going forward in life in the best health and as a great success is always my hope for you and yours; Happy Friday! Material resources may secure your day today but they will come up short when we transition out of this reality. Our true resource is trusting in and having faith/confidence in our Creator and created form then measuring up to the potential given each and every one of us (potential implies having power as the path to influence and impact others in positive ways). Not only is that where we find satisfaction; but peace and salvation. These are ingredients to building our future in the world in ways that are positively inspiring and meaningful. Have an awesome, blessed and safe day and days ahead.

As Salaamu Ahlaykum wa Jumu’ah Mubarakah! Peace, love and as the day goes along, may you be rewarded with immense successes in all the meaningful endeavors you engage; Happy Friday!

Most times just a simple greeting with courtesy, warmth and a smile will change the course of a person’s day. Being so; courtesy, greetings and smiles become a charity and a blessing for the recipient and becomes a reward for the sender. Rewards come naturally from courtesies of goodness. That is where true wealth lies and it’s always in the open, it’s only hidden when we don’t use it.

Allah revealed; "When a (courteous) greeting is offered you, meet it with a greeting still more courteous, or (at least) of equal courtesy. Allah takes careful account of all things" (4:86).

To think that if we as individuals could accept this guidance from the Qur'aan, how it would impact the community, society and the world. Allah's guidance is for us to when greeted, give and even better greeting than we received or at the least a greeting equal to the one given to us. What if we approached all the things and all our issues in this manner? In other words do the best and when we get that which is best, strive to give better than we got if we can and if we don't see a way to do better then at the least respond in kind. Have an awesome, safe and blessed day and days to come!

As Salaamu Ahlaykum wa Jumu’ah Mubarakah! We take ownership of a day with compassion and patience. It is with this understanding that makes days count and ultimately makes life itself count for more than a simple passing through it. We then have quality and quantity of life and faith. No mere animal can be of such profoundness as the well meaning compassionate and patient human being. Such people are the actual jewels of family and community. Have a safe, an awesome and blessed day and days to come!

As Salaamu Ahlaykum wa Jumu’ah Mubarakah! Peace, love and the best that life has to offer is always my hope for you and yours; Happy Friday! Being able to make a decision is a trust and responsibility given to us in our created human form. Decisions, right or wrong can impact every person and every facet of our lives. We have to make decisions every day to the point where it becomes routine or mundane. We have to be intelligent, wise and mindful to make decisions that are always in the best interest of the bigger picture of life as opposed to selfish interest. Then we become instruments of peace, love, charity, righteousness and most of all justice. Almighty Allah revealed; " We (I) offered The Trust to the heavens, to the earth, and to the mountains, but they could not bear this burden and were afraid to accept it. Mankind was able to accept this offer, but he was unjust to himself and ignorant of the significance of this Trust (man was unjust and ignorant)" 33.72. Make a decision and then make that decision the best decision you could have made. Have a safe, an awesome and blessed day and days to come.
