Purpose and Empowerment – A Message for 9-11 20 Years Later

So

this is handle Elsa.

From the law, they will send them this is a first avenue and 11th Street on the east side of New York City that's Manhattan for the people who are in a different country. This Masjid not to build them but the masjid was established about 35 years ago. This is called Masjid Medina, one of the most well known messages, mashallah here in New York City. They're

very good. Yeah. So

for 35 years, they have maintained the legacy of five President

Joomla, to Joomla. And to their age and aroma bonds, and servicing the Muslims and providing them with inspiration and guidance, based upon the Quran and Sunnah. And it's typical on a Friday,

they might have to do much, it's typical for them to have five or 600 people, each congregation,

which is a great legacy for 35 years, and may Allah bless all of those people who were the pioneers in establishing this masjid, and ask the Lord to give me the benefit of their lives and what they contributed. Being a colleague of that era. But today, I wanted to talk a little bit about

the reason why I'm in New York City right now. I'm in New York, right now, for the purpose of meeting and greeting

Muslims or non Muslims and talking about the sentiment,

just simply, and you know, we're not going to talk about September 11 20 years later, we're going to talk about the sentiment. And in addition to talking about that sentiment, we're going to talk a little bit, in addition to talking about that, mentioning that sentiment,

we want to talk also about the issues of social responsibility as it applies to the Muslims. And, you know, I want to point out a couple of things. One, is that there are 1 million Muslims in district 1 million, that's what Bloomberg says, a reliable, you know, like, media source, this is 1 million Muslims in the city. So with 1 million Muslims in the city, let's put this in women context.

Those Muslims should have a reasonable amount of leverage, clarity, leadership,

combination of resources, but unfortunately, we don't, we have over 400, in the searches close to 400, masajid, some extensive schools, in the city, but unfortunately, our influence our,

our, our presence

is not much appreciated, or well understood. Because this resource that we have, has not been brought together.

From a religious point of view, it might be difficult to bring it together, you know, persuasions in schools and Manhattan leaders and countries and cultures and so forth. But it's okay.

But at the same token,

to business and technology, there's a way that we can have some type of reasonable solidarity, a coalition to provide services, and a higher quality of life, and higher quality of life for not just for Muslims, but for our neighbors and our family members, other New Yorkers, and for that matter, for the people in this country who need to have that kind of understanding and appreciation of what it is to be a Muslim, and what actually is the Islamic belief. So we're here to discuss the premises of a purpose, Community Coalition, but on the way we're discussing the sentiments of 911 underway. We're discussing the responsibility of Muslims on the way we're meeting, agreeing with people and

hearing what they have to say and their impressions. And it's about each one teach one and give us something back and forward and having something to have you something to give back

to this country who gave to us.
