ATH: Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra) Progress Through Moral Consistency

Now G_d has progressed their thinking, and enabled them to extract from what has been revealed to their prophets of old, and see the light as it should be seen, in its completion and perfection. We still don't have anything threatening from them. We should make them our allies. We should become allies, because we have been blessed by G_d, all of us, to come to the Promised Land.

Now, the purpose in me dwelling on the concept or the idea of Khalifa like this, all this long time, is because I believe that is our strongest starting point. When we want to understand, what is my existence? What is this thing here I call me, my flesh, my body? Little babies, they can teach us something. We say, "I'm going to take a bath." But listen to the little baby, sometimes. Sometimes there is a little alert baby in the house, or young child in the house, and you say bath, and the baby will say, "body." "Do I have to wash my body?" Body, that's what you are. You are a body and conscience. Conscience is in the body, consciousness.

Talking about Khalifa. We have dwelled on this term all of this time to establish that the starting point for us in understanding what we are, and where we should be going is Khalifa. It gives us the complete picture that should be the motivation in our life for every interest that we have. For every area or field of interest, Khalifa should be the thing that generates confidence, hope in us. What can we not accomplish if we believe ourselves to be the Khalifa, if we are believers in G_d, as Muslims?
