Sajid Ahmed Umar – From Knowing To Growing…

			We grow from what we know from knowing to growing is our mandate. Unfortunately, today Shavon puts
us in a vortex where we have a lot of movement, we listen to a lot of lectures we listen to we come
to a lot of Islamic events, we moving a lot, but rarely do we progress. And there's a difference
between movement and progress. a rocking horse moves, right. But it doesn't progress. Right? We got
to ask ourselves these questions how many husbands have we listened to? But how have how much have
we grown as a result of last week's how many lectures have I listened? But how have I grown? As a
result of that lecture, I traveled to different places, communities are pointing fingers at the
		

			Imams at the masajid pointing fingers at the Doriath at the scholars look at the problems around us
look at the problems with our youth curriculum changes affecting them society, affecting them peer
pressure affecting them, so on and so forth. And we're not discounting these realities, these
realities do exist. But my message to those who point fingers is never forget the three fingers
pointing back at
		

			what have you done to raise a son that will be a model husband, so his marriage is not a problem for
the Imam tomorrow? What have you done to raise a model daughter. So her marriage is not a problem
for the Imam tomorrow so that her children are raised in a way that those children are a solution
for their society and not a problem for the society so that those children are an opportunity for
society and not an obstacle for society. So these three fingers pointing back right. So with this
reality Brothers and Sisters in Islam, we need to have that meeting.
