ATH: Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra) Al-Islam Produces Progress with Honor

"The people as a majority, majority of the people, they are afraid to think. Now if people are afraid to think, that's an indication right there that they need help. Afraid to think. In fact, I've heard them tell me, "I don't want to think." They have told me that. I said, "Look, how are you ever going to realize your worth? How are you going to achieve? How are you going to improve your condition if you don't want to think?"

DuBois, a brilliant mind of our people, he said, "The measure in which we will progress in the future depends on the extent to which we would go in instructing our children to think." Now that is his words. I am quoting him. To THINK! And what does our religion say. God says, "Think, for surely thinking is useful." It brings the benefits.

Think. Don't be afraid to think. Once you are afraid to think, you stop. You make yourself the subject, the victim and a tool of those who will use you and abuse you and rob you and live at your expense. You have to think. Don't be afraid to think. Think about your situation.

We have to learn to appreciate a planned life. People who are progressing and succeeding, they are living a planned life. And they are living with a sense of shared responsibility." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
