I write this to attest to a noble attitude in the works of Columbus Dawah. One statement profoundly drove me to write me this; ” We do not label ourselves nor do we label others.” If this had been the mindset of all of us, I have no doubt success and prosperity would swing our way by the second. I have no doubt many “outcasts” with immense potential would have been amongst us.

As a khateeb at many local masajids and an infant member of the community here, relocating from northern Virginia I have seen here what I have seen elsewhere; the labeling and the disconnection of people, thoughts and places of worship. Those with the above-stated attitude will surely be the only ones who will make the best out of it. Let us always remind ourselves that we not forget ourselves at the expense of other people’s. Let us reconcile ourselves with ourselves and pray for us and others.
I commend the good work done by the brothers and sisters here; I was actually told of this by a bunch of sisters who came to one of my lectures at OSU. May Allah grant them the highest of iman, grant you the best deeds and grant all of us high dwellings in Firdaous….Ameen.
