Peace be with
you. We talked about our brothers and sisters
and in which way we can repair our
relationships
with them.
Now what we have to understand that this
is the very meaning of our faith. This
is our the very meaning of our responsibility
on earth is to bear witness to the
truth.
Meaning that what we have to give to
our
brothers and sisters in humanity goes
beyond the fact that we know this one
and we know Fulan or Allan.
It's that we are dealing with unknown people,
with people we don't know and that they
are with us, and as we know as
Muslims,
we have
a way. We have a faith, and we
have a light, a light
through which we are looking at the world,
a way through which we are
directing our life within
this world and on earth. That's something that
we have, and we know that people around
us might not have a life, might not
have a way,
they may be
non believers even, or
looking for something in their life. What we
should understand here is that as witness,
it's important for us to
understand in which way we are we we
have to provide them with our presence and
to repair
this
unbalanced reality where we have, we know, we
feel, and we find around us people who
are looking for something, looking for meaning, not
for us to convert them because this is
not,
it's none of our business. This is in
the,
the responsibility
of God and a personal
responsibility for them. What we have to understand
is in with our presence as witnesses,
what we have to provide the people with
this is really this understanding,
that they have a a karama. They have
dignity.
As it is said, and as
we recognize their dignity,
we have to deal with this dignity,
and being dignified mean that,
we need
love, we need,
respect,
we need to get our rights, and this
is the way we have to deal with
them in order to respect
their dignity
to repair what could be missing in the
relationship that they have with the world and
we have with them
at the same time. This is the way
we have to follow to follow as believers.
This is what we have to do, and
and it's the very understanding
of,
helping the people around us, understanding
them,
not trying to convert,
not trying to direct, not trying
to constrain,
but just trying to respect and to share
that, to show that there is a way.
This is who we are as believers on
earth. This is what we have to provide
our fellow human beings with as dignified beings,
as brothers and sisters. And then when we
do this,
this is the way for us to say,
yes. I'm following the path, but with my
very presence on Earth, I want to send
the message.
I follow a light.
You may see it through my
acts actions.
I follow a way you can understand it
through the principles
I respect. This is what I can give
with
a way for me to be a witness
and to be a brother
or to be a sister in humanity.
Don't forget to tell the people you love
that you love them. Life is fragile.
