ATH: Imam Mohammed "Establishing Model Communities in America" - Cinci 5/6/00

So Dear Beloved People, this is very plain. So we have to establish a model community that will have models also of the purity of worship. It has to be an Islamic model. For an Islamic model it has to have moral principles established; it has to have appreciation for business and material life established. We just can't live in the sky, or live on spiritualism. We have to have work, earth, material work, this is required in our religion. It has to have also its political structure. We live in the government of America, but every corporation, every organization of any significance, it has its political structure. It has its executive, it has its leader, it has its processes that it goes through in order to conduct the business or the affairs of that corporation or that organization. We have to have the same thing. We have to have our political structure, we have to have our business concern, political concern, spiritual concerns. We have to have all the concerns that are native to the social nature of man.
