ATH: Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra) "A Time for Greater Communities"

What is so special about a human being doing good, that they can have that kind of protection from hell although they are right in the midst of hell, but it is not touching them, thank G-d. What is this all about? It is about the value of the human being that G-d made. The human person was developing upon the natural world; it was supporting human life.

The human being was developing materially, mentally and everything was supporting that natural world that G-d, The Creator, made before man came in with his influence and changed it. He made it man's world and put man's creation all around us.

We know the ground that we are looking at is just like G-d made it; it hasn't changed. It's good to look at the ground. We know the ground and the grass and the maintenance of those things are the same as before man imposed himself upon G-d's world. This doesn't mean that I'm against man's world. I am in favor of it, but not of those things that hurt us.

None of us are completely pleased with man's world, but none of us want to do away completely with it, for man's world offers us a great abundance of good also. But at the same time, we have a thinking that will make us hurt ourselves and hurt society. We have to correct all of that.

What I am talking about is going to help us to better situate ourselves inside of our own society. Even myself, in putting this together strengthened me. Today, I am speaking on my favorite topic that shaped my life the way I am today.
